John, on this note, For road networks and rivers its actually a lot better as some mappers only map to the edge of the tile and the next mapper doesn't realise its important.
We actually added a feature to the TM to create ‘tiles’ with ‘complex geometries’ for projects that don’t ‘fit in a square’; it just obviously take more effort to create those. However, for basemapping it is often easier to use squares and just ask for several things. However, I generally tell Project Managers that ‘natural features’ should not be asked for since they often don’t fit the squares and in this case I think it’s more ‘waterways were not requested’, so that’s why you often only get little segments of things.
