CanVec data comes from multiple sources and this can lead to internal inconsistencies. A common case is a new development where there used to be trees. The tree data in CanVec might be older and show an area as forested while there is newer road data indicating that the area has been developed. An example of this type is http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.695&lon=-73.905&zoom=17 although I have seen many other cases of it.
Another common case is the trees in water problem frequently found in BC. A typical example is http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=58.648&lon=-123.911&zoom=17 where there is a conflict between the water data and the forest data. You need to view the data as it doesn't show up on the rendering. Is it the communities view that it is okay to import CanVec without reconciling the internal differences between the layers? My view is that importing data without resolving conflicts of this type where it conflicts with either existing data or internally is not an acceptable import and indicates the importer did not sufficiently review what they were uploading. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
