Microsoft have released building outline data for the US. I have heard<br>
rumours that they will be releasing a few for Canada.<br>
<br>
I'm not proposing to import them at this point but these days importing is<br>
its own speciality and it needs a mixture of technical skills and boots on<br>
the ground or at least coverage by Mapillary.<br>
<br>
It would make sense to import them for areas that have local mappers first<br>
so they could be enriched with building type etc.<br>
<br>
I know there are local mappers in Ottawa, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal<br>
but is there a list somewhere of the local groups in Canada?<br>
<br>
Just looking at the number of edits in an area isn't as helpful as I<br>
thought it might be. Andrew seems to be mapping Canada single handedly.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Cheerio John<br>
