[OSM-talk-be] kadaster

[Jo]

Hi Benoit,

Sorry, should have written in English, I suppose. If they can work half a
day to get an entire town down in the level of detail the 'cadastre'  would
allow, that is not so bad.

But I can imagine, it's not exactly easy. Both to get the information and
then to convert it to something 'usable'.

Last time I went to cadastre, they gave me a printout of my own street. I
should try and get a PDF from them some day... :-)

OK, I went to read that web site and an A4 sheet on one's own property seems
to be the standard thing they'll do, but no more. Oddly I only 'claimed'
 that I own that property. This was never officially verified.

Jo
