[Talk-ca] Canvec.osm Product almost...

[Adam Dunn]

Opened up 092G06.

highway=unclassified is misspelled. The 092G06 data has highway=unclasified
(with one 's').

footway bridges appear to be duplicated on top of the non-bridge footway
that they are a part of. In other words, a [highway=footway] will continue
the entire length of the path (including the bridge), and there is a second
way [highway=footway;bridge=yes] where only the bridge is.

cardinal direction modifiers have 3 spaces after them (eg. "West   8th
Avenue"). I'm not sure what the standard is for OSM, since the wiki doesn't
seem to talk about it.

railway/road intersections don't have a common node. There is also a very
long rail tunnel that runs from beside the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge down
to near the intersection of Trans-Canada Highway and Willingdon Avenue, but
this tunnel appears to be missing from Canvec.

(as a side note: Canvec has the bridge for Trans-Canada going over Burrard
Inlet called "Hwy 1;Second Narrows Bridge;Trans-Canada Highway;TransCanada
Highway" {note the Second Narrows Bridge part}. It should actually be called
"Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing" and the rail bridge beside it
is "Second Narrows Bridge". See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironworkers_Memorial_Second_Narrows_Crossing)

Other data that I see in error is the standard "old source" problems
(buildings that have since been constructed/demolished, especially in the
rapid construction that happens at Univ. BC), streams/rivers not having
names (but that was expected).

It's nice to see that highway=*_link is being used. It was a pain trying to
figure those out with NRN.
