12pt;font-family: Verdana;">At the end of the day one would hope we are a
community. We are a large group with divergent opinions and to be
honest there is a great deal of interest in non-mappers in this sort of
data.<br><br>For example building data is being used in Tanzania to work
out the optimal areas for group solar panels. It can be used for many
other things which may not be immediately apparent to a traditional
paper based mapper.<br><br>With both the Stats Can released data and the
Microsoft released data floating around some data is going to creep in
anyway.<br><br>At the moment we have Tim taking responsibility for
Montreal.<br><br>There seems to be a number of divergent views in
Toronto so I think they should sit down and see if they can come to some
sort of agreement.<br><br>We have Pierre and Nate who would appear to
have different standards of what is acceptable to other mappers. We
have at least half a dozen mappers who support the import, shown by
their imports. I can probably find a few more mappers who support the
import if it comes to a simple vote.<br><br>I would suggest we try to
best manage the process. If that means the imported data is verified by
another mapper I think that can be arranged.<br><br>Cheerio John <br><br><span>Yaro

dir="ltr">As an experienced local Ontario and Quebec mapper I don't see
any major problems with Stats Can building quality. It's detailed and
recent, it's the best dataset we could ever possibly get and it's far
superior to Microsoft quality. Having many buildings with "almost square
angles" in this dataset is not an issue as vast majority of such
deviations cannot be seen with a naked eye. Unfortunately any
orthogonalization algorithms will do more harm than good in such cases.
Mapping for the Validator, just like mapping for the Renderer is a wrong
way to map. <div>Issues were raised, issues were addressed in the
import plan. If there are any problems with some mappers violating any
specific import plan rules such issues need to be pointed out so they
can adjust their workflow.<div>My 2 cents.</div></div></div><br><div
