<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>
