[Talk-ca] CANVEC data OSM files

Looking through them locally I can see lots of data I'd like to lift
out of them but some roads are a problem.  Within the City of Ottawa I
can see unpaved roads which are already in done with a GPS trace that
are not in the CANVEC files and some newer residential roads are
missing that have been imported previously.  One in particular was
from a Geobase_Import_2009 and even that one the new bit next to it
wasn't even in the Geobase import.  Looks like I'll need to clean up
gently, it would have been nice to do a global replace on a number of
existing roads that had been created from GPS traces, just the ones
with 1,000 points per kilometer in a straight line.

I'd like to pull in the house numbers but so far I haven't worked out
how to select them to copy them in.  Any one any suggestions?

Thanks John
