Can you give me an idea as to which parts/steps of the instructions at<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase_NRN_-_OSM_Map_Feature" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase_NRN_-_OSM_Map_Feature</a> your having problems with? I'm can try to clarify/provide more info on any steps that are unclear.<br>
<br>
Basically you need to<br>
<br>
1. Load the NRN data into postgis (using shp2pgsql which is included with postgis)<br>
2. Load the OSM data into postgis with osm2pgsql<br>
3. Generate shapefiles with the NRN and OSM data using stored procedures similar to those posted on the wiki page<br>
<br>
Then you need to import the files into OpenJump/road matcher (The wiki has some instructions on doing this, and I can try to answer if anything isn't that clear).<br><font color="#888888">

Hi<br>
<br>
Sorry to ask for help, but I really want to start importing Geobase data for<br>
Manitoba and Saskatchewan. If someone is able to help me install RoadMatcher<br>
on (open)JUMP and create Shapefiles from OSM data on a Debian GNU/Linux<br>
system. Again, if it is such an odious task forget it. But to the best of<br>
knowledge there is no one importing data for these provinces, and it would<br>
allow me to focus on other features of the map if this data was imported.<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Sam D.<br>
