[Talk-ca] Merkaartor and WMS layers

[Sam Vekemans]

Thanks Bob,
I also found that the Ontario server was also slow compared to the
Toporama & GeoBase servers.
i think that all of the features in the WMS (just like all features in
the NRCan WMS l& CanTop and CanMatrix are also available somewhere as
shp files, these need to be converted to OSM.

I found that for Ontario, it was easist to Trace the Trails, as making
it .osm files is rather tedious as the area is so big and more often
than not, others have added in trails to it needs to be attached on to
existing trails.

Next on my list for Ontario conversion is the provincial parks,
perhaps the building areas should be next?   I think it might also be
sorted by region, but not sure.

Also,  can someone provide the WMS layer(s) to view the imagery that
is available from NRCan?
As James asked for a list to be made of it.

Cheers,
Sam
