Map for Toronto POIs

This is my best guesstimate for the Toronto POIs.

I don't know what serves East York (between Vic. Pk. and the Don River)

There will be local variations ... but this is the approximate layout.

It tends to follow the old Municipal boundaries of Toronto, Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York, East York etc.

Re: Map for Tornto POIs

Cool!

Very nice! Well done!

Nice!

very well done! thanks - needed this!!!!

See my post
»Update on recent new POIs/Upgrades

I doubt that the post code list includes the actual POI it will be on.

Rogers and the other cable operators don't publish cable service coverage maps for their overall service area (unlike for cellular service), so I doubt they'd release head end info.

My info was simply based on the little I know of how the cable companies were originally laid out in the cities and hence given the location of the POIs, the areas they'd cover.

And if you think I'm gonna sit down and reverse engineer Post Code to POI!!! I don't have 12 months to spend on that project because then you'd want to verify becaues there'd be mistakes.

Could we put together a list, from at least of current members, with the first 3 letters of the postal code they're on, and the POI they're on according to their tracert.

We could put pins on the google map colour coded, that could help create a more accurate coverage map.

Heres that data (postal code boundaries) from canada post. -> »www.canadapost.ca/cpc2/addrm/hh/···LL-e.asp

More specifically for the GTA -> »www.canadapost.ca/cpc2/addrm/hh/···ON20.pdf

From what I've seen of both Ottawa and Toronto postcode maps, there's gonna be a LOT of the "ANA" codes that will overlap the area boundaries.

I think it takes more than the first half of the code to do this.

Well, we could do the full postal code... We dont have to post it in the public forum, they can be PM'd to sbrook and he can enter it anonymously on the map as a "Scarlett User" or "McNicoll user".

Make a sticky post requesting the info, how to obtain your POI name if you don't already know, and presto... Would be neat IMO, and it could help in the newer POIs outside of the GTA where they cover a larger area.

M5A 4H8 is Bloor2.

I just spent a few minutes verifying the post code that karennewton just provided. It took me several minutes to do the crosschecking to discover that there's absolutely no question from the map I did that she's in Bloor ... making me convinced that the correct way to do this is just by address and the map ...

If the map's wrong send me address or post code and I'll compile corrections to the map. That's far more productive.

Can you give someone else access to modify the map? heck i'll plot the pins of users if you like... no big deal.

A million pins are just going to overwhelm the map. You want a pinned map, make a copy of it and you could do it ... I'd rather leave mine by address.

Nice job!

Cool, you should also make it viewable for those who dont want to enter their info, or just to check it out.

You should be able to view it by just going to the URL, and not filling out the form.

Although right now, there's only three entries, so it isn't much yet.
