I've added that in and have been able to trace some roads up in rural MB around Dauphin, the currently un-mapped town where my inlaws live. I figure I'll take my GPS along and track out the entire town next time I'm out there. A good excuse for an outing! But the Toporama gives a REALLY good starting point.</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><br></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">2 - The Town of Duncan, BC On Vancouver Island is perhaps the best mapped place in Canada. <br>Although we did get some help from (Local Mappers / Landsat / Yahoo imagery / CanVec/Toporama/GeoBaseNRN/ GeoBaseNHN/Cowichan Valley Regional District / Atlas of Canada / NRCan geogratis ). Great work Kevin Smith! (who is the top contributor) This is a wonderful example of a combination of efforts from multiple sources.<br><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.77478&lon=-123.69681&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.77478&lon=-123.69681&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF</a><br></blockquote><div><br></div>Excellent, I'll take a peek around there and see what I can garner from what has been done there. I would ultimately like to map my own subdivision as accurately as possible, and then gradually keep adding more details outwards from there. I imagine I'll never run out of points to add.</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div>Yup, and how you already have houses drawn in.
