<br>Hi John,<br><br>What tile area ares you interested in?<br><br>New Brunswick is in the 021 & 022 area<br><a href="http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/browse.do?produit=cded&decoupage=50k&map=021">http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/browse.do?produit=cded&decoupage=50k&map=021</a><br>
<br>You can see a chart of what the GeoBase NRN status is like for New Brunswick<br><a href="http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/data/nrn/status.html">http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/data/nrn/status.html</a><br><br>I have added you as an editor to the Canada import Status Googledocs Chart.<br>

<br>
I would like to take a shot at updating the OSM for some of New<br>
Brunswick, which presently does not have very much mapping compiled. The<br>
plan I think I'd like to follow is:<br>
<br>
1. Select an NTS 1:50 000 area that has few roads and which has no OSM<br>
or minimal OSM.<br>
2. Run script(s) to generate OSM from the Canvec data set. At this point<br>
I am only interested in roads, to prove the process for that.<br>
3. Upload the OSM.<br>
4. Have some people (you?) review the data, make comments.<br>
5. Iterate the process a bit till quality good (or I give up!)<br>
6. If I'm still here, maybe add some more.<br>
<br>
Any comments on my plan are very welcome, especially helpful tips!<br>
<br>
The part I'm currently interested in is #2, generating OSM from Canvec.<br>
I saw on the mailing list that there is a python script called<br>
canvec_to_osm_features.py, and I have downloaded that. However, I have<br>
difficulty running it on my Windows XP box. Specifically:<br>
- I can launch python (which I happen to have on my path)<br>
- But if I just run "C:\Canvec2Osm>python canvec_to_osm_features.py<br>
--version" then nothing happens.<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate any comments on exactly what I need to do to get this .py<br>
script to work.<br>
<br>
Lastly (for now) I think that if I get the .py working, I will<br>
immediately run into a problem with shp-to-osm. Like the .py readme<br>
said, I have made a bin directory and I've put the shp-to-osm in there.<br>
Actually I have both:<br>
2009-11-11 17:37 7,365,493<br>
shp-to-osm-0.7.3-jar-with-dependencies.jar<br>
2009-11-11 17:37 7,365,493 shp-to-osm.jar<br>
in case there is some naming problem. Have I done the right thing?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help. I hope I won't get frustrated and that I'll be able<br>
to help the project a bit!<br>
<br>
John<br>
