[Talk-us] NHD preconverted data - posted

[Ben Supnik]

Hi Richard,

I can definitely do that - I never got vector backgrounds working with 
Potlatch myself (I have a Trac issue floating around) but if you can 
make Potlatch read the hosted files directly, that'd be a nice win.

Besides one .osm per zip, what else does Potlatch need?  For example, 
how does Potlatch need the data to be indexed/named?  Right now the data 
is named by HUC (the entiy formerly known as sub-basin) + data layer, so 
unless you know what kind of data you want and the USGS's number for 
your town, you can't really easily guess the filename.  There's 
something like 2300+ HUCs.

I can build an index off the particular shapefile HUC boundaries if 
that's needed.

cheers
ben
