[Talk-ca] Canvec.osm Product - Running!

[Bégin, Daniel]

Hi Gordon,
 
It has been changed because the features captured in Canvec were named runway (NRCan definition) but they were actually apron (Osm definition).  
 
Usually, you will have to add runways and taxiways to an apron feature imported from Canvec.
 
Regards,
 
Daniel

Hi Daniel...

A question about the aeroway=runway -> aeroway=apron change. Does this mean that all runways, such as 14/32 at Ottawa (CYOW), will be tagged as aprons? There's a significant difference between an apron where planes park and a runway where planes land and takeoff.  Could you clarify this change a bit?

Thanks!

	Bonjour OSMers! 

	Canvec.osm Product conversion is running since 16:10 - Sherbrooke time.  
	It is based on the new Canvec release (7.0).  

	All files will be reprocessed. From south to north, east to west. 

	What's new ... 
	- The vegetation has been updated for some areas in eastern Canada. 
	- Quebec road network now includes addressing; 
	- Manitoba road network now includes street name; 

	See http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/data/nrn/status.html <http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/data/nrn/status.html>  for details on roads 


	Schema upgrade ... 
	landform=beach replaced by natural=beach - for rendering 
	aeroway=runway replaced by aeroway=apron - more realistic 
	natural=land area converted to point - unhide features and keeps toponyms 
	Some fixme comments were clarified 

	Cheers,
