[Talk-ca] StatsCan Address Ranges in OpenJUMP -- how to interpret them?

[Sam Vekemans]

Just curious, is it technially possable to create a WMS layer, where the
address range data & road names are phycally shown?   If this layer can be
set to transparent, then it could be used ontop of the Toporama WMS layer
(so then we can manually copy in the details to the actual road &
extrapolate from it).

Thanks,
Sam
