Description:
GeoBase Portal offers an access to its data layers through a Web Mapping Service (WMS) in accordance with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications. Layers available from this DataBasin record show roads and ferry routes at multiple scales.

The National Road Network (NRN) product contains quality geospatial data (current, accurate, consistent and maintained) of Canadian road phenomena. The NRN product is distributed in the form of thirteen provincial or territorial datasets and consists of two linear entities (Road Segment and Ferry Connection Segment) and three punctual entities (Junction, Blocked Passage, Toll Point) with which is associated a series of descriptive attributes such as, among others: First House Number, Last House Number, Street Name Body, Place Name, Functional Road Class, Pavement Status, Number Of Lanes, Structure Type, Route Number, Route Name, Exit Number.

The National Road Network (NRN) provides quality geospatial and attributive data (current, accurate, consistent), homogeneous and normalized of the entire Canadian road network. GeoBase 4 The NRN data serve as a foundation for several applications. This common geometric base is maintained on a regular basis by closest to the source organizations selected for their specific interests or for their ease in offering adequate, up-to-date representations of road phenomena, in accordance with the GeoBase initiative (www.geobase.ca). This common infrastructure facilitates data integration of NRN data with supplementary data.
