Hi Richard Thanks for clarifing these aspects. To our defense, regarding scaling to the globe we actually just tried to rephrase the README "It's best suited to city and region extracts." [1]. So sorry for our interpretation. Regarding additional data (as Shapefiles) the docs says "Tilemaker chi

Many of the coastlines in OSM came from an import of the PGS coastline data. It was a fantastic benefit to be able to add this coastline data to OSM, and we're better off having had it. And there are many places that have aerial imagery that is now good enough to improve on PGS coastlines. So th
