[Talk-ca] NTS tile 040P

[Bégin, Daniel]

Bonjour James,

When I clik on the link you provide I can see all expected 040PXX files (the directory is not empty).

May be you are trying to access them through http?  Have a look at 
http://geogratis.gc.ca/geogratis/en/faq.html#q4

We don't have the ressources to provide the community with something else for the moment. 

Regards,
Daniel

Subject: [Talk-ca] NTS tile 040P

Hello,
I believe I am looking for a subtile of 040P but the directory ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/040/P/ is empty.

This brings up a related point:
Is there a web page that makes it easy to find the tile you want?
A mashup would be ideal.

I took a quick look at the openstreetmap OpenLayers api and it has at least some of the capability needed. In fact, given a list of the centers of the tiles, we could use the example, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_POI_layer_example
with trivial modifications to display an icon on each one. Clicking on an icon would display the URL for the corresponding osm file.

Here is what textfile.txt would look like:
lat	lon	title	description	icon	iconSize	iconOffset
48.9459301	9.6075669	040J03.3.osm	To get the .osm file for this tile go to<br>ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/040/J/040J03.zip	Ol_icon_blue_example.png	24,24	0,-24
[the coordinates in the above are not correct]

There are some issue, though, which I can go into if people like this idea.
