Who's guessing here? I'll quote you again, "> Just a guess. landuse=reservoir overrules natural water." My hypothesis is based on the experience of tagging several reservoirs exactly like this without any problems. The only difference is that this one involves a greater number of nodes and took several minutes to upload. Anyway, the tags are correct. It's a lake, so it's tagged natural=water. It's a reservoir -- an area of land (territory) used to store water -- so it's tagged landuse=reservoir. The wiki page for each tag indicates that the tag is correct for the situation, and I don't see a problem with redundant tagging. If the renderer gets it wrong because of the way it's tagged, then the renderer needs to be fixed, not the tags. But I'm confident that that's not even the problem here. -- David "Smith" a.k.a.
