[Talk-ca] More uploads to Ucluelet, BC

[Sam Vekemans]

Again, CoolI just had a look at it, and it appears that actually going ahead
and using the canvec roads and calling it ("for tracing use only") it would
help, as i would simply have the 'canvecRoads.osm' file open in JOSM and
then use it as a guide to adjust the ends of the roads to line up.  So then
once the roads are all fixed, hide that canvecRoads.osm layer, and upload
the changes.

Does this make sense?

Would this be easier, than trying to find where you have
the original geobaseImport.osm file stored?     .. since the actual
geometrics of the data is identical.  ... and since were looking at the area
and getting ready to import all the other features anyway.

Cheers,
Sam
