[Talk-ca] Re : Re : admin_level of canadian cities

[Pierre Béland]

Bruno, what you  present correspond to the present situation like I indicated in my last mail that came at same time as yours.
We could also have an administrative boundary relation =8 to describe Quebec city limits. This is very helpfull to search into cities. I have done that for Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu using data from Statistic Canada. We should obtain better information from government of Quebec in the next year.


For example, with Nominatim, I can search rue Jacques-Cartier, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

But if I search Rue Grande Allee, Quebec, I cannot find it. Only a street in Montreal is reported.

>>In the wiki page it is clearly indicated to use admin_level=8 for municipalities in Canada. Levels 9 and 10 are used for subdivisions into the municipality (ie. arrondissement and neighborhood / quartiers ).

>>>hi,

>>>What do you suggest for "admin_level" of canadian cities, because i noticed difference between the official Canadian recommendation on Openstreetmap wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admin_level#10_admin_level_values_for_specific_countries) witch is suggesting LEVEL 8 ... whereas you can check LEVEL 4 for big cities in Canada on Opensstreetmap (Quebec City as instance...)
>>>
>>>So ... do we adjust our admin_level according to the canadian section of openstreetmap's wiki?
>>>Or do you suggest to keep on tracks on LEVEL 8 usage... and why?
