Lake Eyre etc is so big they used natural=coastline... Although this comes back to the question the other day, where does the coastline start/end, legally speaking it cuts across bays, it doesn't go round them or up rivers... > additionally look here: > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dcoastline > > Without natural=coastline the islands will not show up in the coastline shape > file. They will render still. natural=coastline mostly needs to be used if you have an unclosed way you would like to render, such as lake eyre and similar lakes in that area, natural=water/riverbank should probably be dealt with in the same way, but they aren't. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
