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

[Daniel Begin]

BTW, the Canvec product has been updated about 10 years ago (with satellite
imagery) over Northern Canada. It is actually the most up-to-date part of
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
