Hi all, (Sorry if im making too much traffic) Anyway, because of the IMMENSE volume of data that i'll be loaded, i feel its important to keep everyone uptodate, so that you all (everyone) has a chance to speak now, and yell at me about errors. :-)
However, as i learned from tiger data, im sure that more errors will be found AFTER i already imported 1/2 of Canada :-) Anyway, Lake Cowican, BC 092c16 is now available. It was surprising at how fast the area gets rendered (thanks admins :) With a big thumbs up to Ian Dees, for working so hard on the shp-to-osm0.41.jar program, to make it easier to use. Thanks! The script now can check to make sure each file is less than the 50,000 item max, and will create a second file to hold the rest. It can also convert the french accents, so thats awesome (considering its a federal database, where french is the other official language) http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.8221&lon=-124.053&zoom=12&layers=B000FTF You can see alot more detail on this area. The only feature that isnt loaded is the big polygon of wooded area, (that'll take the bulkUpload.pl script (that i still need to figure out) .... thats why im at beta 0.74 (im sure it's not that hard to learn, i just havent got to it yet. So I look forward to all your nit pickings. Cheers, Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails Twitter: @Acrosscanada Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans
