Re: [Talk-ca] Missing harbours and marshes - L Ontario

2011-08-19 Thread Bob Dustan
The marshes aren't actually deleted - they just don't appear on the OSM
map.  I have verified that the Canvec data that defined the shoreline
and the connected marshes still exists.  It just doesn't show because
the natural=water ways are not currently closed. 

So once the cleanup work is complete, all should be well.

Thanks,
Bob

 I have been trying to clean up the coastline by getting rid of the
 natural=water ways and cleaning up the natural=coastline ways (which
 are terribly inaccurate). I only got as far as Port Hope I believe
 before stopping.

 Which marshes did I accidentally delete? They could probably be put
 back in by loading the appropriate CanVec files.

[Talk-ca] Missing harbours and marshes - L Ontario

2011-08-18 Thread Bob Dustan
I just noticed that several small bodies of water along the north shore
of Lake Ontario have disappeared (partially or completely).  Some
harbours affected are Oshawa, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Port Hope, and
Cobourg.  Some marshes (e.g. Westside Marsh near Bowmanville) are gone. 
Some creek/river sections near the shore are gone as well.

Can someone clarify what is happening with this?

Regards,
Bob

The coastline relation was edited recently.  Coastline rendering can
take a while to catch up.

Anybody care to look a little deeper and see if this is a problem, or
if we just need to wait?

You're right, the harbour is there.  But not all of it.  The large creek
to the west and the small creek to the north flow into the harbour and
were previously shown correctly on the map.  Now they appear to abruptly
end before reaching the harbour.

Same pattern for the Bowmanville harbour.  And I think the same for
Newcastle, Port Hope and Cobourg.

The Cycle Map and Osmarender views in OSM show older views of the
affected areas (prior to change).  (at least, they do right now)

As the US edge of the Great Lakes are tagged as natural=coastline I
believe that all the Great Lakes should be tagged this way. There are
a few reasons for this:

1. it makes the lakes consistent as it only leads to confusion if the
US side is defined one way and the Canadian side is defined another.
Luckily, the renderer has hacks to deal with this sort of thing so it
currently works.
2. Large multipolygons can be very difficult to modify. Imagine
if there are changes to the coastline (especially when lots of
islands) due to updated data and the new multipolygons from canvec
don't have the same borders. Nightmare.

Lake Huron has already been converted to using the canvec data and
only uses coastlines. I am about 2/3 of the way done with converting
Lake Erie(*). If no one else is working on Lake Ontario, I will start
that when I'm done with Lake Erie.

(*) It is very fast as there are few islands. I spend 8 times longer
making fixes to the roads uncovered by the validator than I do on
the coastline. On the other hand Lake Huron had  1 islands and
took over a month.

 Will you be continuing? I've been on a roll and would be willing to
 continue into Lake Ontario, but as you've started it is only fair to
 let you continue if you wish.

 If you wish to continue, I'll just work on another area. There is a
 tricky part between Lake Huron and Lake Erie that I've been avoiding.

Yes, I will finish the north side of Lake Ontario (the part I have
been trying to clean up).
