Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] What Google Copying?<br>To: Richard Weait <<a href="mailto:richard@weait.com">richard@weait.com</a>><br><br><br>I know this is already forwarded to DWG, but here's another example:<br>There's a place near Valemount where Old Tete Jaune Road and Carr Road are close to each other on opposite sides of the Fraser River. The NRN does not have a connection between these two roads. Neither does the Statistics Canada GeoSearch 2006 [1<a href="http://geodepot.statcan.ca/GeoSearch2006/GeoSearch2006.jsp?minx=4424833.70333546&miny=2258135.54892718&maxx=4428457.65291529&maxy=2260341.43128012&LastImage=http://geodepot.statcan.ca/Diss/Output/GeoSearch2006_geodepotfarm537963892447577.gif&resolution=H&lang=E&switchTab=0" target="_blank"></a>], nor Bing maps [2], nor Mapquest [3]. However, Google maps shows that Carr Road extends all the way down to Old Tete Jaune Road [4], even though Google's aerial imagery shows no such bridge (Yahoo imagery is just Landsat, so no way to tell). Vreimer has decided to extend Carr Road down to Old Tete Jaune Road, spanning the Fraser River, although he did not make it an actual bridge. Since Google maps is the only source showing Carr Road spanning the river, it would seem as though vreimer is copying Google. However, a quick search on Google shows that a bridge has actually been constructed there! [5] is the only page I can find referencing the bridge. I can't find any construction dates or other details, but it would seem there is a bridge in place that NRN and Statistics Canada don't have.<br>

</div>We've tried to reach vreimer and had no luck. I've referred vreimer<br>
to the data working group for discussion with this thread for<br>
reference. I'll update this thread on the DWG's reply in the next<br>
week if we haven't heard from them sooner.<br>
