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

Mainly I am interested in the Quttinirpaaq national park. I think it is region 120 and 340. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quttinirpaaq_National_Park

The Queen Maud Gulf Bird Sanctuary would be also nice. It is region 66N and 66O. Center of it is Karak Lake N67.23719 W100.26031.

Why would it take years? The complete Canada topo map from Ibycus is "only" 3,5GB big.

Ivolino:

	I'm currently importing canvec data. Is there a specific area that you are interested in? I would expect all of Nunavut would take me  several years at least :-) Mind you I haven't looked at the data. Even Ellesmere island I would expect probably about a year.
