Bonjour Andrew, Good initiative! And it will be perfect if you add all necessary links to good practices/warnings about imports!-)
I had a look at Canvec+ details (a). - The prepackaged files (250K tiles) are going to be quite large since, from what I understand, they have merged together all (16) underneath 50K. - Custom “areas of interest” might be difficult to manage for data import. - Proposed file formats are similar to what it used to be with standard Canvec, but it does not include OSM format :-( About the script(s) used to convert Canvec to OSM, they were built using FME workbenches linked together with batch files (so, obviously not open source).

I am using pnorman's ogr2osm script with modified translation files (see https://github.com/andrewpmk/ogr2osm-translations). It will be some time before I actually import anything. I would like to assemble a list of government open data portals in Canada which are compatible with the OSM license. Please add suitable open data sources to [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Open_data]. If they have already been fully imported then you should put a note on that wiki page. Also I am trying to figure out a way to import newer CanVec data. The CanVec files in OSM format at <http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/> are out of date and appear to have been created in 2010. Is the script that was used to convert CanVec to OSM open source? It looks like there is a new version of CanVec called CanVec+, has anyone here used it yet? I am hoping to do something about the large amount of broken imported data in OSM in Canada and we need a better way of fixing broken CanVec data than copying from the Geobase WMS layer or cutting and pasting from outdated .osm files from 2010. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
