Cool...
I'll post a blog with Screenviews, and show you exactly how you can
use the trails data from Land Information Ontario, and manually add it
into the map, and will include the steps on how to contact local area
mappers, so they can go out with their gps and help fill in the local
data.
... I'll zoom in on Kingstom area.  I think other have already
manually merged in the canvec data of the kingston area.
Is their another area (perhaps perry sound, or in algonquine park?)
that you personally know well?



I already did a video, so i think it's time to update it :)



Next week i'll be in Mississauga with family for a week, and a fast
internet connection :) ... so i can make time away from family for it
:) ... which is not a bad thing :)


cheers,
sam
