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

Sounds good to me. Lakes and rivers are the most important if you are Offroad trekking in nunavit. Villages are also good, roads even better.

What could be good is 

1. the physical layer infos + roads.
2. Complete the detail in villages with gps

The CanVec data comes in layers, so it is definitely possible to import only particular sections of the data, such as the roads.

CanVec makes a good base to work off of. One of the seasoned importers can do the work and us regular users can adjust it for the underlying satellite data. I'd help with that part myself - always willing to lend a hand.

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
