[Talk-ca] 083g10 crowsnest pass canvec2osm sample area

[simon at mungewell.org]

Hi Sam and all,
There's a lot (!!!) of data there, of most interest to me I guess are the
mountains, waterways and road structures. I had a (casual) look through
those and they seem to make sense.

Mostly the roads match OSM data layer, which is rather spooky - I had to
check some areas which I know are too recent to be in Geobase to make sure
you hadn't cheated/merged already. Road names are missing though

Some of the streams appear to be in a different place to what I have
observed with GPS track but that could be down to GPS positioning errors
(or not...).

All waterways are tagged with 'waterway=river', even if they are very
minor. It would be better to tag as the smallest waterway possible and
then manually upgrade them to larger types later (or even auto-magically
if they have 'river' in the name).

Despite being in the mountains there seems to be a lack of
'elevation_point_imperial' or 'elevation_point', even Crowsnest Mountain
(the highest peak around at 2785m) is missing. There are only 6 compared
to the 28 that 'peakfinder' has in the area, they are also missing the
proper names and elevations.

As to the other layers, more data than my brain can handle...
Simon.
