There's a few ways of going about doing this. Because you have aerial imagery (2011 provincial imagery) for the area it makes it easier. Generally the first step is to get the roads in. You could trace them from the imagery or in this case they are also in CanVec. If it was a really new subdivision you'd have to use a GPS. It looks like there might be some even newer construction not in CanVec or the imagery. Just for reference, the CanVec data is 082E14.0.2. The Wiki has more docs on CanVec, but basically in this case you'd only want to bring through the road data. The other data is rather useless. You can do this with JOSM or P2. Once the roads are in I'd suggest going to the subdivision and walking the roads, checking names and noting POIs. Getting the location of any retail locations is also useful. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
