Ok Paul, when you have enough time and energy to map 34,218 kilometres (21,262 mi) of coastline (excluding all offshore islands) of Australia let us know, in the mean time we will be making do with the imported data we have. We also don't have access to aerial imagery except a small fraction of the 7.8 million sq km of land mass, although with your help/donations I'm sure we could possibly get some more. In short put your money where your mouth is. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
