The quality would be poor, but better than nothing. The entire Svalbard is only around 3000 points.

His data was from a copyright source (Norsk Polarinstitutt) and has "had permission withdrawn to use their maps." ;-) I've pointed him to OSM and asked him if he has any GPS traces.

Mapnik has the coastline at low zoom levels so there must be some source for those. 2008/5/29 David Groom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > - Original Message - > From: "David Groom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Erik Johansson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Talk Openstreetmap" > > Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 2:17 PM > Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Svalbard coastlines > > > > Unless I hear that someone else has started it, I'll start uploading > > coastline for this area this evening. > > > > David > > > > > Unfortunately I was not able to generate any coastline data.

Re: [OSM-talk] Svalbard coastlines...
Someone might like to talk to this person about their data - they sound like very reasonable people, maybe they'd release it to OSM. http://www.svalbardmap.com/ also, via a 'friend of a friend' I've been watching this blog: http://max78n.blogspot.com/ Max is, I believe, doing a masters of Cartography and is based in Longyearbyen on Svalbard.

Unless I hear that someone else has started it, I'll start uploading coastline for this area this evening.
