Added a section of the Famous West Coast Trail
Posted by geobase:acrosscanadatrails on 1 June 2009 in English.I added the tile area of 092c11 which is the top of the west coast trail.
It's a 57km backpacking trail which is only open from may 1st to sept 30th.

Perhaps the best hike in the world. :)
I havent done this hike myslef, but look forward to some day. ... now that it's almost mapped, it will certainly be easier. :)
.. PLUS, the map will stay constantly updated with each traveler going through it with their GPS :)
Anyway, I'm going to hold off on more uploading for now.
What I did find was that i can go ahead and create the .osm zip files containing all the features for the area. and merge the layers so it's easy to work with. This is for all those areas which have been mapped. For the areas that havent... still i'd rather go slowely, and make sure that the data loaded is QUALITY over a automated system.
By connecting with local people along the way (i'll contact people in Ucluelet to let them know the map exists, then they can go ahead and make the map better) .. and also state the problems.
So for now, i'll be working on the wiki progress chart, so it will help everyone follow along and not step on peoples toes :)
Cheers,
