Hi,<div>I'm trying to open up the .gml files from NRCan - CanVec website</div><div><a href="http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/canvec/province_gml/nl/">http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/canvec/province_gml/nl/</a></div><div>
so then i can use a program like OpenJUMP to be able to save it as a .shp file, then i can upload the .shp files to</div><div><a href="http://www.koordinates.com">www.koordinates.com</a> </div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, i get an error when trying to load the .gml file.</div>
<div>I tried <a href="http://www.gvsig.org/web/">http://www.gvsig.org/web/</a> yet the program is rather big and not in english by default (im trying to install it again, but it stalls on setup)</div><div><br></div><div>
I also tried <a href="http://mygeodata.eu/">http://mygeodata.eu/</a> and it stalls on loading the .zip file :(</div><div><br></div><div>And what is FGDB file?</div><div><a href="http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/whatsnew.html;jsessionid=ACD1DCA33E1D9CEA93EDBFCB2D020E4D#canvec-20100611">http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/whatsnew.html;jsessionid=ACD1DCA33E1D9CEA93EDBFCB2D020E4D#canvec-20100611</a></div>
<div>I'd like CanVec to provide province sized .shp files broken down by theme, but the files are apparently too big for nrcan to support (that would make it too easy)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>My alternative solution is to just download all of the NTS tile squares and extract each file type and bring it all into a same folder, then use OpenJUMP to merge it all together.</div>
<div>(alternativly, i can load it all to <a href="http://koordinates.com">koordinates.com</a> and create a layer with multiple data and export it as a single .shp file)</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone have any better options?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Sam</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. I use windows and don't have the expensive software ArcGIS, and im a newbie, so i dont know what a PostGIS database actually is nor how to work one :) </div>
