Hi everyone,
I finally have this chart up to par, and it should be good enough for use
now.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Canada_WikiMAP_Tiles

The chart is organized by the GeoBase tile grid, and (will) include a
subsection for each of the effected groups of tiles which Dale alreeady
created on the Ibycus Topo Map.

The map will grow, and as people add in their area in which they want to
ensure that everyone downloads, as well as (or instead of) the Ibycus topo
tile.  This way, a complete mapset of all of this combined data can easily
be created. ... the goal is to remove my Trans Canada Trail file, and have
the entire trail soley shown on OSM.  (With the addition of a few other
maps, to make the complete route.)
(i can certainly start everyone off, and feel free to jump in and add
whatever maps you like to this chart)

Looking at the Canada page now, i would like to move the contents of
the ' Importing
Government data<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_Canada#Importing_Government_data>'
section and have a simple link to 'GeoBase' (wiki page), which has the 1st
section being discussion.
then the rest of it, describes how to use GeoBase data as a tool to Create
Transparent Garmin Maps, so then they can be installed onto the device on
top of the OSM data.

And looking that the 'Goals' section, i would like to replace it with a link
to this chart.  ..  i dont think it makes sence to have this chart on the
main canada page, agreed?

Look forward to hearing from everyone soon,

I hope this makes sence (i know i struggle with it)
