[Talk-ca] OSM CanVec.

[Bégin, Daniel]

Hi Mike,

You did not miss anything, you are giving comments on a sample - as expected!

- About missing names, Canvec features are not named. However you can find some toponyms.
- About missing tags on multipolygon. The tags have been placed at relation level, not on inner or outer ways.
- About duplicate ways for water bodies. You have found a problem with the Canvec product - support team has been advised.
- About out of date data - residential area, sports track, buildings. Here is what I answered to Richard yesterday concerning building, it applies to your findings ... 

"It reflects the fact that there is no more complete map update program at federal level.  The updated content is provided through the GeoBase initiative.  As buildings are not a GeoBase layer, they have not been updated for a while.  That is where Osm mapper could eventually make a difference."

Cheers,

Daniel

I think I may have missed the goal here?   Are we evaluating the OSM 
files and trying to make the source better or just requesting OSM files and putting them in?

I'm ready to go if we're just putting them in. ;-)
