Yup, forgot to mention that i did contact the local area mappers, and will be hosting a mapping party in August.
Cheers, :)

Yes, Pembrooke, Ontario is part of 031f14
http://geogratis.gc.ca/geogratis/en/product/search.do?id=28954

1/2 is in Quebec and the other half is in Ontario. It will be imported with the Quebec Import. I guess SteveS figured it's best to leave it, for who whoever will import Quebec.

Also, a border tile takes a little longer to process, as you need to grab the NRN file from 2 datasets (NRN is stored by province). I don't think any more difficult, just extra steps.

And FYI, with the CanVec data, i cover the whole tile areas (tile-by-tile) so all other features will be loaded, just not the roads. They will be available for viewing, but just in the 'extra' folder and not intended for import.

Sam

Wow, that looks great!
Thats a neat legend feature.

That's cool!
I use Inno Setup for mine. and mapsettoolkit to check that the map is right. But this is even faster.

Great Job!

Thats because the residential area and water body polygons have not been imported yet. This will further define what the land actually is.
If you like, i can send you the .osm file of the area so you can see what will be imported?

Here's what i loaded yesterday.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.5081&lon=-123.3567&zoom=13&layers=0B00FTF
It should show up on mapnik in maybe a week.

Nope, i didn't know that, thanks. :)

I'm just thinking again about it. For those sections that i have actually traveled on. (I could keep the tracing that i did, provided i trace ONLY my GPS Tracks)

Do i just need to get permission to be copying the information which is provided on the website (source=link) ? (the tctrail:*=) tags

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/146837

Ya, i removed the Relation from the database (but kept a screenshot of what it looked like) incase i can add it again. :)

When i was tracing, ya it was only 1 track.. For the areas of Cranbrook that i back-tracked, i saw that with 3 tracks it's easier. So when i am physically there again, i can cover the whole route (that is signed) again, then actually post it.

I discovered that it's really the posted route details which are of value (route official name; number; distance; usage; date registered; overall grade; overall surface) which is valuable for all trail users.

I also have a hunch that Google Maps directions where used to 'correct' the origional tracks, (unknowingly that there is copyright on it). Also, the tracks that are from the tctrail.ca website do not contain elevation information. Just the origional track from the origional contributor should be used. (found where possible)

Fortunately, im doing my best to work with Trans Canada Trail to figure out the best solution.

Thanks,

It's the french accented letters which cause the conversion being wrong.
And i list the french word for each feature, as that's how it is from the source. (French is the Official 2nd language)

Would it be better to just list the 'english' & french text with ':en & :fr? as a separate tag?

I don't know how to add the different characters.
Do you have a better solution?

Thanks,

Was it the same user(s) that imported the data?
If so, then it might be possible to remove that particular users edits.

... im using a new login prefixed with the name of the import.
Then logging in as my regular login todo the manual fixes.

As im not familiar with the area, what features are needed to be fixed?

Thanks,
Sam

I'm watching the dev list, and it looks like it's being discussed & worked on :-)
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

Yup, i saw that, thanks :)
The purpose of mapping this way is to figure out how to deal with the GeoBase Import.

I figure that the best way to deal with having roads already there is to create an overlay of the GeoBase (or canvec) roads available. .. and use it as a layer in JOSM. .. Just hiding the layer before uploading the changes.

This way, i would be 'enhancing' the road that someone else already did, by adding a few more nodes and making the curve of the road more precise.

In this case, the road is on a hill so more nodes are needed, and it would be a matter of just making the road in the center of the 2 bollards. And adding a line from each bollard indicating thats where the trail goes.

Thanks for the post. On the talk-ca list, were still racking our brains on how to make it work. :)

Thanks, the feedback is appreciated.
I'm working on a todo list for tasks needed to be done. So then everyone can chime in, where they can.

Sometimes its hard to keep up with the talk-ca discussion, so transferring the points is another another task.
Thanks for the comment :)

Wow, thats awesome to hear. I'll be in touch for sure.

Great, but your link doesnt work :(
I think you would be better off, posting your diary entries on this site here
and posting your OSM related profile on the wiki site.
Thoughts about how to fix OSM are welcomed and encouraged. :)
On each wiki page, where you think there there should be changes, feel free to note them on each discussion page.
And yes, the community will happily challenge your declarations :)
... as long as you can back up all the points, if there is enough reasons, many aspects of this site can be changed.

Hope that helps.

I have updated the wiki with your question, and if you would like to join the talk-ca mailing list, your welcome to help if you can.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:GeoBase_Import

Probably, it is a free map and available to easily download from the wiki site.
... the biggest challenge is 'Awareness that this exists'. Perhaps there is a better way to make the casual viewers who search for free maps to find this site?
Although I have never geocached, nor do i understand the purpose of it :) .. imo

dout ... Silicon Valley, ...
anyway.. if this bike lane is part of a cycling route, a relation route would be good, the bikemap would sure pick it up.
