But which is the "right"position? When one is given to be 3 cm's off the other, neither is more accurate, given the data collection technique. I think you are beyond the accuracy of the data themselves at that level. While merging and then combining a stream or a road that crosses a tile boundary, trying to decide which node is more "accurate" is one of those questions best asked only during periods of intensive navel contemplation. Take either one. The precision of the data exceed their accuracy I would guess by several orders of magnitude. Is the next node along the way mapped to 3 cm accuracy? Or the next, or the next? No. Here is an example where "good enough" is TRULY "good enough". It's all the science can bear. <BR>

yeah, thats what i had to do for every node<BR>
but part is the issue there, is that when i merge 2 nodes, it doesnt always go to the 'right' position'<BR>
need to manualy select them in the right order to make it go in the right direction, it seems more like an error in the canvec data then an extra step i need to do on every tile<BR>
almost looks like floating point rounding errors, but not sure why some tiles are ok and others arent<BR>

Have you tried just zooming back a bit in JOSM and merging them? It's part of my stitching process for each tile. I've never had a merge refused because of a 3 cm difference (but, of course I've never looked that closely to see how far apart they were actually). We're dealing with precision here... not accuracy at that level.<BR>

yeah, its not much, but its enough to screw up josm when trying to combine things between the 2 tiles<BR>
have to fix each node on the border one by one, no real patern to which direction they are shifted<BR>
even along a solid line (the edge of the tile), the nodes are going up&down and zig-zagging across the edge<BR>

ive been working with canvec for a few days now, and ive noticed some of
the data is offset by 0.03 meters
its not matching up with nearby tiles
for example 021O10 doesnt match up with 021O07
ive noticed the problem on other tiles aswell, but didnt think to write
them down
