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

[Paul Norman]

Just as a note, the coastline for most of the remote parts of BC is from
GeoBase and should be equivalent to CanVec. It’s outdated, but it beats PGS.
The coastlines in other parts are generally traced and more recent as well
as more accurate than the GeoBase NHD product.

Bonjour OSMers! 

Canvec.osm product conversion is still running. However, we have found some
problems in the database with the hydrographic network (at least in Ontario)
where there are nodes every meter!

 

We are working to circumscribe the problem and the concerned files will be
reprocessed. If you ever find some files having this problem, please do not
hesitate to contact me.

 

In the meantime...

I've been asked some questions about the coastline - Thanks to David Groom.
Digging further on the answers I provided, I've found that it is now
possible to differentiate between a coastline and a waterbody for BC and
most of the Nunavut. I've adjusted the process and will provide real Osm
coastline when available.

 

Furthermore...

Our database is ready to manage maxspeed and oneway information. As soon the
provinces provide the information, the Canvec.osm product will have it.

 

Let me know if you find unexpected problems in the data. 

Cheers, 
Daniel
