In the mean time check out the islands off of Tofino, the beach renders fine IMO. (i prefer not to list it as an amenity=beach, since it's not varified if the beach is public or not). Until people are actually there. (this one, (I think) you can take a water taxie to and camp on the island. ... and call the taxie when you want a ride back. :-) I'll post the water routes as it's standard like a ferry route.

When i finished loading all the 'protected areas' it might show up in there.

And yup, the rest of the country is available like that. Maybe adding the coastline tag to the islands, and removing the old one? I recomment: Just make a backup of the coast line (the area) 1st. then experiment with, and see how is renders. Have you tried KOSMOS? it now uses better contour lines (new NASA data). http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kosmos Hope that helps, Cheers, Sam > > > > On 31-Jul-09, at 7:11 PM, Sam Vekemans wrote: > > Hi, >> I just put in a few island and water features over on Tumbo Island and >> Saturna Island.
