[Talk-ca] Next road import area

[Jonathan Stewart]

Hey Steve,

My friend and I are having some success with the instructions on that
page, i may add something to it that's a bit more of a step-by-step
guide.  We're both running Ubuntu, but most of the tools seem cross
platform.

Having trouble figuring out the config for osm2shp, any tips?

I can see the MB data in OpenJUMP, which is pretty impressive, it looks good!

I don't see any names on these roads, do you know how i would tell if
there are any or not?

Thanks for all your help and hard work, you're really blazing a trail
for the rest of us.

Cheers,
Jonathan
