[Talk-ca] canvec2osm BETA v0.15 update

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all,
canvec2osm v0.14 is now available!
http://sites.google.com/a/acrosscanadatrails.com/www/Home/canvec2osm0_15.zip


Highlights:

*the 'extra' folder which contains contours and road segments has been updated.

*I havent figured how to fix the "-" value tags, but still working on that.

* i think its better to have all the fields available shown, as the
data can be used.

*for the "first/last & left/right" address number, my guess is
"addr:housenumber:first:left" as that would make sence. I'll post it
on the wiki, hopefully i'll get feedback

*one option is to omit the tags that have been used with the
geobase2osm script, and just show the addr:housenumber tags. Having it
directly ontop of the road, might be good. Since these ways only
extend between intersections; an ideal situation for this way.
Perhaps listing it as 'name:first:left' would be good, so then it
would get rendered.

What is the tag to have the text shown on the oposite side of where it
normally goes?

Look forward to hearing the feedback.

Oh ya, i have the sample are of Niagara Falls

Where it all shows up very good. I think the best way is to view it
all in JOSM and then check the tags to see if they make sence :-)
