Re: [Talk-ca] FW: Welcome to MyTTC!<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>Nice ideas :) <BR>I wish Victoria, BC would have not dug
up the old street-car line and paved it into a road. It would be
great to see a rail line that isn't just a tourist train going 2 times a day.
... 1 time per direction.<BR><BR>Sorry i cant be of much help right now,
directly to you, but hopefully others who are more local would help.
:)<BR><BR>(For the talk-ca@ discussion list) Hows
'railway=proposed'? As i dont think there are conflicting plans, dont see
a problem with it being listed, and not physically connected. Another
option is to draw it in as a GPS track (using <A
href="http://bikemap.net">bikemap.net</A> or Garmin MapSource routable map) and
just export that file for viewing overtop of Google earth with the
openstreetmap KML layer turned on? (also, OpenOrienteringMap lets you draw
on the map a route & print it as a PDF.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Sam<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV></DIV>Hey Bob,<BR><BR>Are you just trying to compile the database?
I would personally suggest OpenStreetMaps, <BR>that way other people could
benefit from your hard work - they also have excellent tools to help you with
entering the data.<BR><BR>If you're a web developer you can use the tools on
CloudMade to produce nice looking maps that incorporate your dataset.<BR><BR>I
sure would like to see that data for the Toronto area, but I'm not sure what
I'd do with it to be honest.<BR><BR>Thanks for using our
site,<BR>Kevin<BR><BR>
