[Talk-ca] Victoria MeetUp

[Bégin, Daniel]

I agree!
 
there is so much thing to map that conventional data producer can't afford. Furthermore, many of you have seen that data from such producer (including us ;-) are not error free - even if I can guaranty that we are doing our best.  So, even if all the Canvec data is ever imported, it might still be updated, modified and corrected to represent what is really seen on the field!
 
Best regards,
Daniel

There is plenty of 'detail' to be added to OSM. I started adding shops along Broadway, Vancouver before I left. Often places such as parks also need improvement, with footpaths and bicycle parking and such.
