[Talk-ca] Internal CanVec conflicts

[Harald Kliems]

Hi Tom:
welcome to OSM and congratulations on your first edits! Yes, it sounds
like you did the right thing. One thing to look out for: Bing images
are not always aligned 100% -- they can be offset by several meters.
Usually this is not a problem but if there are any GPS traces
available in your area you (most likely to be found along major roads)
you can use those to make sure that the imagery is not off. In JOSM
you get the GPS traces by checking the "Raw GPS data" box in the
Download window.
Happy editing,
 Harald.
