I thought I'd share A little tidbit that I've been finding useful lately
while editing.  It's a WMS url for Toporama (aka geogratis data).  It is
really nice for use in JOSM while tracing GPS tracks.

http://wms.ess-ws.nrcan.gc.ca/wms/toporama_en?LAYERS=limits%2Cvegetation%2Cdesignated_areas%2Chydrography%2Chypsography%2Cfeature_names&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&

It's got the Limits, Vegetation, Designated Areas, Hydrography,
Hypsography and Feature Names layers turned on, and makes a nice base
map for me.  Their site has lots more information on what all the layers
are, in case that list was greek (I was to me until I read their site).

peace,
	Austin.
