Bonjour OSMers!
Canvec.osm product conversion completed last week!
I will soon reprocess the files to create and add metadata (Metadata.txt) into
each .zip file. At the same occasion, I will correct some potential oddities
identified by Paul Norman.
What is new:
* There is no more "Here be Dragons" areas in the Canvec product! NRCan
completed mapping Canada at 50K scale about 2 months ago. Almost 100 years
after Canada started mapping at this scale (approximately!-)
* Municipal Boundaries for SK,MB,NB,YT,NT and NU - linear - are available
Changes from previous release:
* Water definition (natural=water) now fits the Osm coastline definition
(high water level).
* Format of the ZippedOsm.txt in ftp site has changed.
* The .osm files are now created with a <osm version='0.6'
upload='false'> tag to prevent accidental upload. The data can still be
uploaded, it just gives another warning before the upload so that the mapper
can double-check his action.

Thanks to those who are maintaining this wiki page :-)
Let me know if you find unexpected problems in the data.
Cheers,
Daniel
