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

Would it be possible to only import the tundra parts? There are no wood
areas. Or just Ellesmere island? There are just lakes and tundra.

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. 

 

Greetings ivolino
