For those who are still wondering, Manning Park should actually be showing up in <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.0866&lon=-120.7647&zoom=12&layers=B000FTF">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.0866&lon=-120.7647&zoom=12&layers=B000FTF</a><br>
The permalink I had in my last post shouldn't have any national or provincial parks in it.<br><br>Adam<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 8:24 PM, Sam Vekemans <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:acrosscanadatrails@gmail.com">acrosscanadatrails@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>Feel free to change the page to whatever tags are better. (and i can re-convert the dataset again with changes)<div class="im"><br>

All that is needed is to change the format of the shp files with ogr2ogr & make these files available. Then James knows now to make a WMS layer with map.server, where it could be hosted onto the <a href="http://wms.openstreetmap.de" target="_blank">wms.openstreetmap.de</a> site, so then people can just trace from it. If we make it 'transparent' this WMS can be used over top of the Toporama WMS. ... while other features are being added (from the soon to be available canvec data) as .1x.1 degree tiles.<br>
<br>For now, i can see that they show up (i corrected your permalink :-)<br><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.0345&lon=-121.9195&zoom=12&layers=B000FTF" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.0345&lon=-121.9195&zoom=12&layers=B000FTF</a><br>
<br>Re: Manning Park. ya, i have no idea about the source of the data. My plan is to contact Parks Canada (as soon as all the parks get loaded in) and share the .dbf file database & add in a column for the 'OSM ID' (<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/54452481" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/54452481</a>) (creating 1 chart per feature type) would make for a good spreadsheet). <br>
I would ask them how old the source data is, and ask to get an update from the BC government to update that file.<br><br>Also, note that the BC Provincial Parks database is under the license that is not compatible with OSM, however, once all of this available data is loaded in the province (and all the Canvec data is loaded). We might see some interest from GeoBC. ...<br>
<br>However, i have already contacted GeoBC (and have bugged them enough). It would be better to wait until all of the Vancouver Data is available (city parks), or even better.. other regional area data (Nanaimo & CVRD). ... and approach other towns across the province, .. so once more cities & regions notice that OSM is populated with all this data. The province has the dataset that will be able to 'fill in the gaps'.<br>
<br>Also, after all of the park boundaries are loaded in Ontario (the shp files are available) & i can convert it just the same. ... there will be some provincial competition. .. where no province likes to be last... :-)<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Land_Information_Ontario#Provincial_Park_Regulated" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Land_Information_Ontario#Provincial_Park_Regulated</a> (there is only 337 parks, so it could all be put in 1 or 2 .osm files) .... but note that some of this could be in CanVec. ... which is why im not converting it yet... anyone want it?<br>
