The UK canal network isn't in any of the obvious layers. Whilst I was looking at layers, the UK rivers don't seem to be on any layers either. Surely you're not suggesting tracing over several thousand miles of canal manually simon_a? A quick glance at GE shows that might be possible (if laborious) in the high-res areas. It would be quite difficult in the low-res areas though. Surely it would be easier to*ahem* 'obtain' the data file from Some source & use conversion tools. Admittedly there would be copyright problems. The OSGB people are notoriously tight with their data & charge an arm & a leg for it. Another method might be to take a GPS unit for a cycle ride down the towpaths or take an extensive canal holiday with it & then up load the track Anyone fancy lending me a GPS unit? I'm in need of a Holiday in some beautiful British countryside Finally. I wonder if a toadying e-mail to British Waterways would grab the info? -------------------- Any technology. From the stick & the rock onwards. If you're bothered I've got a blog or two: cha0tic stuff & Another set of cha0tic stuff Post Extras
