Free Canadian Roadmap Data

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

A set of national roadmap data has been made available for free
here in Canada.   It is roughly of similar quality to TIGER/Line in the USA.

  http://geodepot.statcan.ca/Diss/2006Dissemination/Data/FRR_RNF_e.cfm?language=E&format=A

I made this data available in Shapefile format as a torrent at:

  http://geotorrent.org/

I see after digging a bit that there was already roadmap data available
at http://geobase.ca/, and I am not clear on how this new data release
relates to that.

Best regards,
--
