With wooded areas and lakes I've noticed we tend to just leave them un-merged. I can imagine for boundaries we'd like to have them merged, especially considering they'd be spanning many tiles. I can see a few ways to approach this from the OSM side of things: 1. Do our own conversion of the data Canvec uses as its source and bulk-import it all in one shot. 2. Develop a tool to help merge the imported boundary areas which are split among multiple tiles. For option 2 I've always had it in my mind that we either need a standalone tool or a JOSM plugin to support an automated merge of the large lake and wooded multipolygons. The same approach could work for boundary areas. Tyler _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
