The Province of Ontario - NRN data is now imported
Posted by acrosscanadatrails on 25 June 2009 in English.Wow,
This is awesome, big thanks goes out to SteveS for importing all the data for the Road network..
The area im pointing to is South-Central, Ontario Popular cottage country for the city dwellers.... all who migrate north for the long weekends.
My guess is that we will start seeing more mappers all over, once they find out this is here :) ... Hopefully, i'll get this CanVec data imported so then it will 'clear the trails' for mappers to start listing cycleways and hiking trails. (among other things)
... great for the geocachers out there too :)
Great work!

I noticed that the area near Pembroke, Ontario in the northeast of the province is not imported. Is this part of a Quebec tile?

Yes, Pembrooke, Ontario is part of 031f14

1/2 is in Quebec and the other half is in Ontario. It will be imported with the Quebec Import. I guess SteveS figured it's best to leave it, for who whoever will import Quebec.
Also, a border tile takes a little longer to process, as you need to grab the NRN file from 2 datasets (NRN is stored by province). I don't think any more difficult, just extra steps.
And FYI, with the CanVec data, i cover the whole tile areas (tile-by-tile) so all other features will be loaded, just not the roads. They will be available for viewing, but just in the 'extra' folder and not intended for import.
Cheers,
