[Talk-ca] Importing CanVec – Worth it?

[Martin Chalifoux]

I think it would be great that somebody plug the big hole from North Bay to Va d’Or so that area is covered.Tamiscaming in Ontario and Abitibi-Temiscamingue in Quebec. This areas is inhabited so it is useful. Other than that I have no idea how hard it is to import Canvec data.

I've tried importing CanVec data in the past (about 2 years ago), which did not end well since I had barely used JOSM before then. People also seemed to always be complaining about how hard and annoying it was to import CanVec data, even in completely blank areas, such as up north.
