Wow, using the tool you just showed me made the job of finding and correcting the errors in my local community a very quick and easy task... trying to find duplicate ways is pretty tough just going by what you can see. Finding unconnected ways is a little easier as they show up visibly. I just cleaned up about 20 square miles of area in about 10 minutes. There's an even bigger issue where the canvec imports stop well shy of the existing roads, or issues like this: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/debug.html?view=routing_non_eu&lon=-112.55995&lat=53.71582&zoom=13&opacity=0.98 I was thinking that it might be an idea where instead of dropping the close match CanVec Imports, that if they were imported, but marked such that they would be easily found and deleted if not desired, or the existing road could be deleted, and the CanVec import modified to make it the new way. Such as in the case above where the CanVec way was left out of the import in deference to the existing road, it would be very easy to just modify the CanVec way to make it part of the database, and delete the less accurate hand drawn way. It's more of a pain to have to go and find the CanVec ways again, and import them so you can delete the hand drawn way. If there were a way to have the CanVec ways that were determined to be duplicates shown on a map (kind of like showing roads under construction), one could easily compare the two ways, and with a simple edit and delete combination, make the CanVec way the one to keep, or a simple delete to remove the CanVec way. Speaking of CanVec imports... anyone going to tackle importing roads into Saskatchewan some day? It gets pretty bleak on that side of the border in a hurry! http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.091&lon=-109.473&zoom=9&layers=O -- James VE6SRV _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
