[Talk-ca] importing GeoBase Data (learning from TIGER)

[Sam Vekemans]

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase_NRN_-_OSM_Map_Feature
I created the wiki page for it, and added the 7 different areas of Geobase
data.
Going through the pdf, wow, thats a lot to sink in. :)

I messaged another user of Geobase data i found Googling, so perhaps more
help can be found out there.
It looks like the chart would show the direct comparisons of each road type
and features, to what OSM does.

But shouldn't be too hard. :)
