[Talk-ca] NRN Map chart & CanVec Update

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,It looks like your working more on the 040 area. Awesome!
Perhaps it would be best to keep it to 1 line, and just add in what tiles
your working on.
My concern is that this chart will get too big.

As you might be aware there is an option to show the unnamed roads.. as
"fixme=no name" so then on the OSM map layer, all the roads that need to be
named are highlighted.

I have now been able to make the CanVec2osm script work, so it's also
possible to view everything that canvec has to offer shown as individual OSM
files.

The only thing that it doesn't do is compare with existing data directly.
But fortunately, this doesn't include roads.  The roads DO exist, but
because road names are not available AND the data isn't as accurate, it's
not used, nor is any other feature that is already part of GeoBase.

So far, the script doesn't include all the features, yet, but enough to get
an idea of how the features will get shown.

The progress of this import will also be shown in a similar fashion, so i am
trying to match as much as possible.

I wont actually start the import until, the whole script is done (obviously)
:-) ... but until i get the OK from lots of mappers that all the tags are
there as they should be.

Cheers,
Sam
