WTF is going on?

Thanks Andrew, you answered it much better than i could :)

Please also let me know what area your working on, so i can create a sample area of the CanVec data (lots of other map features) so you can look at. Hopefully you will find errors better than i can.

Cool, you can see in Canada where Alberta is. That's all the GeoBase roads that have been imported. Hats off to SteveS!
... and if you look REAL CLOSE you can see all the blue of the West Coast Vancouver Island :)

Thanks for sharing!

Wikipedia data for airports

Would be great to get the data directly from FAA.
Having WP show the OSM slippy map as a default. So then WP users will know to go onto OSM and manually add in the waypoint, as well as reminded to back-up their waypoint with facts. .. Our OSM facts, are GPS Traces. .. where WP facts are based on books & google maps.

My best advice is to set up a new user prefexed with something identifiable, and follow the generally accepted guidelines for 'bulk import' So your data can be removed, if you find out it's not needed.

Until WP stops showing Google Maps as a source for locating GeoData, and only uses OSM. .. it's a never ending discussion.
Or until Google Maps uses OSM instead of NavTeq. .. Whichever comes first :)

Great to see more progress in leaning this way :)
