Hi Everyone!</h4><div>I'm happy to report that all 24 layers that are available from the City of Nanaimo's geo-data website[1] , is now available on Koordinates.com[2] as a supplier profile. Making it the 1st city in Canada to have all the available geo-data layers as public access.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Koordinates.com is a free world-wide geo-data collection website, created by awesome developers in New Zealand, (who are currently busy with updating the website, and adding aerial imagery from the post-earth quake hit areas.) </div>
<div><br></div><div>What's great about having this geo-data all in the same place, is that it makes it easy to compare the similar geo-data from (for example Natural Resources Canada [3] so to be able to find out the differences and create better maps as a result.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For those of you who would like editing access to these pages (to help make it better, if you see errors and to update the data) just ask, and i can include you into the list. </div><div><br></div><div>
Once the Province of BC (eventually) sees the value of making their geo-data available, this can be added. (I guess i 'could' start uploading it, and i'd need to just set the data-licence as 'non-commercial / and no-modifications allowed', </div>
<div>If anyone wants to help with this process (of uploading BC data), please just ask. But for now, i'm in no rush, because of the silly restriction.</div><div> </div><div>Hope this is helpfull to some people out there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Sam</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://www.nanaimo.ca/EN/main/departments/Engineering-Public-Works/GIS/DigitalData.html">http://www.nanaimo.ca/EN/main/departments/Engineering-Public-Works/GIS/DigitalData.html</a></div>
