[Talk-ca] Wiki-Fu, not worky

[Sam Vekemans]

On A similar node.

If someone is bored, or wants to beat me too it.  I'd like to see an exact
bbox link for each city/towns wiki page
as well as a funky slippy map listed.
ie.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=-76&minlat=46&maxlon=-74&maxlat=47&box=yes
(it would need to be modified so that it covers the general area, for
someone who is only interested in the (.osm data / Garmin MapSource
Installer / Garmin IMG files), could easily get it?   ie. making sure that
the surrounding are allows for continuous travel around.  Ie. in Calgary, it
would include the full outer ring-highway  Which is not necessarily the
'official bounds' but the area that a visitor would want to see / expect
when downloading 'Calgary'.

I'll be making said installer packages which is updated (as often as i can)
for each area, similar to what i already have for Alberta.   I'll also add
the hyperlink to download the shp files for the province (as that link will
get automatically updated every 2 weeks or so by cloudmade)   ... and if
someone knows how to make shp files for smaller areas than cloudmade can
provide, this will also be helpful.

Cheers,
Sam
P.S  and/or maybe a pretty stylized tourist map made?
