Let me guess, reverting the deleting of Nanaimo roads? (i guessed right)

BTW, rest of Canada. Vancouver Island is the guinea pig for the rest
of Canada.  I figure that at least if all the 'wedgies' are ironed out
over here, it will save on the rest of Canada being imported messily
:0)   Since there's a TO NE of data available, messing up an island is
much better than messing up all of Canada. The local mapper Jamie is
well aware of this, and anxious to get it fixed too.

I think that this shows a valuablabe point.  That as soon as the road
data is imported, it attracts more users.  So when Canvec is dropped
in, it needs to be done in 1 tile session as complete as possible.
This will avoid frustration the next day when someone else goes to the
map.

Austin, if you have time, can you make the 092f01 to 092f04 geobase
roads available?

Because the western half of Nanaimo isn't available, only the 'old'
CAPS roads still are there. It confuses people as to which road data
to use.    So if all the 'corrections' (me removing the caps roads) in
1 sitting, it would have helped.

Anyway, I plan on visiting Nanaimo later this month, and hosting a
mapping party. with all the local area users.

Cheers,
Sam
