Hello. Noticed a lot of maps tend to resemble the USA in Pilotwings64, with Canada as an ocean. I have the shapefiles for the province of Ontario and its road network (the former is not large, the latter is about 150mb). I've also sent in a form to the Ministry of Natural Resources to get an unrestricted license to access the GIS data for every province in Canada. If anyone is up to either making the updates or explaining how I use these things, I'm happy to share the files (and will soon have the legal rights to distribute them). - ''']'''&nbsp;<sup>]</sup> <sub>]</sub> 18:55, 5 March 2011 (UTC) Hello.

==Needs KML file tag==
Recently, I have seen the ] banner tag "needs KML file". That tag's expression includes a link to ], which page does not explain kml files. Because some (many ?) users may not be familiar with kml files, would it be a good idea to also have that tag's expression link the term "KML file" to an appropriate explanation? --] (]) 14:59, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Canada and Ontario shapefiles

Hello. Noticed a lot of maps tend to resemble the USA in Pilotwings64, with Canada as an ocean. I have the shapefiles for the province of Ontario and its road network (the former is not large, the latter is about 150mb). I've also sent in a form to the Ministry of Natural Resources to get an unrestricted license to access the GIS data for every province in Canada. If anyone is up to either making the updates or explaining how I use these things, I'm happy to share the files (and will soon have the legal rights to distribute them). - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  ¢ 18:55, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Needs KML file tag

Recently, I have seen the WikiProject U.S. Roads banner tag "needs KML file". That tag's expression includes a link to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Maps task force, which page does not explain kml files. Because some (many ?) users may not be familiar with kml files, would it be a good idea to also have that tag's expression link the term "KML file" to an appropriate explanation? --Bejnar (talk) 14:59, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
