Add a relation if you have a valid reason to use one, like sharing a boundary between sections of land based national park and marine park, but using a relation for error checking seems wrong to me. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Australian Coastline
The Coastline error checker doesn't appear to update very often. I have found the coastline checker still displays errors that I fixed a month ago. It also doesn't seem to always care about reversed coastline either. I use Mapsource with my garmin nuvi and it quite often has problems drawing the coastline from mgkmap creations. I thought it would be a good exercise to see if relations will help. I also plan to add some coastline national parks that are split at the coastline and plan to use the relations for checking my work.
