Do you already know MapOSMaotic (http://www.maposmatic.org/) ?

GeoCoder.ca (http://geocoder.ca/)is offering the "Canadian Postal Code Geocoded Database".
The data in this database has been crowdsourced and is published under the "Open Database License (ODbL)"

Now Canada Post sued GeoCoder.ca
For more details see http://geocoder.ca/?sued=1 (scroll down to bottom to see the whole file)

Find some comments on this case in the Blog of Michael Geist http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6415/125/

Hello,

OSRM allows now worldwide routing.
This includes of course now Canada. Now it is time to add also data for routing purpose:
- one way restrictions
- turn restrictions
- connect ways properly

Have a look on http://map.project-osrm.org/

Have fun mapping

#6 users: Canada » Unconnected footways » 2012-04-15 03:01:17

High,

I've seen lots of footways not been connected to the rest of the world.
See for example the bridge near Chinook Mall http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.99 … 8&layers=M
This will not allow routing for pedestrians using OSM data.

Maybe we can improve such things by connecting also these ways.

Have fun mapping
