Oh brilliant, I'm glad someone is actually doing this. I really pushed for them to make the data free and then I left and didn't have the mental capacity/time to do an import.
Hampton Place - I think the road around Sandringham is the only gate I didn't get past with my GPS, though I'm not sure it was getting great accuracy when I made a trip round there. It's obviously great to see the buildings, I made notes on the rest of the data they have and if it should be imported. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada:British_Columbia:Vancouver/UBC But you're now in charge of what goes in and what doesn't! I'm CC'ing imports@ list, just for information. The process sounds fine to me.
