Hi James,<br><br>The 16 tiles of the 040p area is now available.<br><br><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=3b30da6df5072902ab1eab3e9fa335ca5db936ffcb4bd73c" target="_blank">http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=3b30da6df5072902ab1eab3e9fa335ca5db936ffcb4bd73c</a><br>
<br>Please update the google docs chart of your progress, so we all know whats up.<br><br>I see that's where Richard did a little uploading in the area, so it would be best to coordinate with him on what tiles your working on, so no toe stepping on :)<br>

</div>This is great news.<br>
<br>
Before people go rushing to import the data, I hope that they will<br>
give roads some consideration. Living in southwest Ontario I have been<br>
focusing on mapping that area, starting in Kitchener-Waterloo. It<br>
appears that in most areas the geobase roads were imported wholesale.<br>
Little thought was put into checking the data, leading to many missing<br>
roads and a lot of really bad roads being left in (often off by more<br>
than 50m). Not even the JOSM validator was run on the data.<br>
<br>
How does this relate to the import of canvec data? Checking roads is a<br>
lot harder as the maps become filled with other data.<br>
<br>
So please check the roads before adding other data.<br>
