Hi all, A few colleagues at Telenav and myself are looking at Canvec 2016. Roads specifically. I am sure some of you already have done that. Something we are looking into a workflow that is something like this (simplified):
Canvec 2016 Shapefiles --> Conflation engine (Cygnus [1]) --> Tasking manager The output of the conflation would be an OSM XML change file that could be (selectively) applied in JOSM. It would contain new / changed ways as well as some new or changed tags. All proposed updates would be verified manually (through tasking manager.) What do you think about this idea? The conflation engine takes OSM PBF as input, so the Canvec shapefiles would need to be translated (using ogr2osm). That would require an ogr2osm translation file. I wonder if someone already did this? (I am using this [2] attribute list as reference.)
