[Talk-ca] Nunavut has a very pour data coverage. Why not Integrate BNDT/CanVec dataset from Department of Natural Resources Canada?

[Adam Martin]

I can see the point here - better to have something than nothing. Still, my
tendency would be to opt for a mapping project like the ones performed on
other areas rather than a mass import. Imported data needs to be treated
with kid gloves as it is easy to end up with faulty information. Wood areas
tend to come in in a very haphazard way, for example.

Put out the call - I know there must be several willing to help out up
there.

Hi all.



Nunavut has a very pour data coverage, almost nothing. Why not integrate
the BNDT (or NTDB) dataset from Department of Natural Resources Canada?



ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/bndt/



I use the map data with the Ibycus Topo Canada v4 map for Garmin and they
are very good. I think the data are now proceed from CanVec should be
available for import in OSM.

I would be very happy to have the topography maps from Nunavut but I am
afraid I am not experienced enough to import the data. Because there is
almost nothing so far you can't do too much wrongJ.
