Agreed with Paul, The new version of Canvec (release 10) is compatible with the osm coastline definition but still configured as multipolygon where the product is unaware it is the ocean . For the moment, only BC and Northern part of Nunavut is geometrically and correctly tagged.

Someone imported large natural=water polygons on the coast over existing data. I fixed about half of the imports and haven't had time to get back to the rest. The coastline should *not* be mapped with natural=water. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
