Get CanVec or CanVec+ data URL based on the NTS Reference (as generated by
<code>nts()</code>) provided. The URL generated may or may not exist depending whether
or not the sheet or area is available. CanVec data is available by mapsheet
(e.g. 021H01; 1:50k), CanVec+ data is available by map area (e.g. 021H; 1:250k).
If a the <code>ntsid</code> provided is a 1:50k reference, a CanVec URL will be generated.

Provides an interface to the National Topographic System (NTS),
which is the way in which a number of freely available Canadian datasets are
organized. CanVec and CanVec+ datasets, which include all data used to create
Canadian topographic maps, are two such datasets that are useful in creating
vector-based maps for locations across Canada. This packages searches CanVec
data by location, plots it using pretty defaults, and exports it to human-
readable shapefiles for use in another GIS.
