Bonjour OSM lovers!
First, a short clarification – I do not know if Canvec will no longer (never again) be supplied in OSM format, I just know there are currently no resources allocated to work with the OSM community.
Second, about the Canvec conversion scripts …
- They are owned by the crown – I would be surprised they could/would be released to the public;
- They were all developed with FME – a powerful tool – but you usually need to pay to get the appropriate licences…
Third, concerning potential “diffs” files …
- There are some references to diffs files in talk-ca archives (some were even available for few NTS through ftp site)
- Maybe diffs files are available for Canvec? I do not know.
Forth, my main concern is more about the sustained availability of the data in the ftp site L
Best,
Daniel

I think it would be great to see newer CanVec data in OSM as well. BC's vegetation coverage from the last import in 2010 (tagged as "natural":"wood") is horribly patchy and quite ugly in the OSM basemap and other maps.

I can only address point 4. I'd love to see newer Canvec data.

Hello List:
Given Daniel's reply that Canvec will no longer be supplied in OSM
format, I'm curious about:
1: I don't know what I don't know to begin with :-)
2: Are the scripts / programs available to do the conversion still
available?
3: Was there ever a program written to produce a "diffs" file?
4: Is there a desire to have newer Canvec data converted to OSM?
Just throwing this out there.
