Bonjour OSM lovers!
First, a short clarification – I do not know if Canvec will no longer (never again) be supplied in OSM format, I just know there are currently no resources allocated to work with the OSM community. Second, about the Canvec conversion scripts … - They are owned by the crown – I would be surprised they could/would be released to the public; - They were all developed with FME – a powerful tool – but you usually need to pay to get the appropriate licences… Third, concerning potential “diffs” files … - There are some references to diffs files in talk-ca archives (some were even available for few NTS through ftp site) - Maybe diffs files are available for Canvec? I do not know. Forth, my main concern is more about the sustained availability of the data in the ftp site L Best, Daniel From: Chris Davis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: November-15-14 01:56 To: Darren Wiebe Cc: Talk-CA OpenStreetMap Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] Bringing canvec to OSM back to life I think it would be great to see newer CanVec data in OSM as well. BC's vegetation coverage from the last import in 2010 (tagged as "natural":"wood") is horribly patchy and quite ugly in the OSM basemap and other maps.

Just throwing this out there.
