Hi,
Im wondering if someone is able to help and upload a sample of the
geobase2osm roads data to the area?
(I haven't yet learned how, but will) ... in the mean time it would be great
to see a sample area done here. and perhaps run the new script with the
StatsCan data. (if needed).   .... but i did remember how to make a Garmin
map with the contours, so the OSM - Canada Map can be made :-)   (If anyone
wants to help, please do speak up)

Its 092c13 .. would be greatly appreciated.

What I just discovered, is that facebook is a great tool to find people in
the local areas. .. I just found local facebook groups, and im sure there
would be 1 from each area.  So thats 1 way to get the word out to find local
area people who are into using GPS and maps. (BTW, i'll physically be in the
Ucluelet area myself, that's why i choose it) :-)

The upload process is slow and steady, ... even after the canvec2osm script
gets past the BETA stage... but i think that it's the best way to get it
done.  .. manually uploading each feature area 1 at a time.  This way, it's
VERY easy to not include shapes/lines/points that someone already spent the
time and effort to map
 it.
