And thanks to you Paul for the data files in the first place. Also I wouldn't want the impression I'm the only one fixing coastline errors, so thanks to the rest of you as well.
Just to be clear the error points layer is automatically updated from Paul's files. The other error layers require manual generation so may only get done once a day. Also due to the number of error points the map current won't display in some (maybe all) versions of IE, but is OK in Firefox & Chrome. I can't be bothered to fix this, as the number of error points is falling daily, and so it won't be an issue in a while.

Exact upload times depend on runtime which is largely a factor of dev server speed. Errors points are definitely going down. Many thanks for David Groom for both hosting the visualization and for often fixing errors before I can get to them, even though I know when my runs finish. > From: Paul Norman [mailto:penor...@mac.com] > Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2012 11:55 PM > To: 'osm-talk' > Subject: [OSM-talk] Coastline generation resumed > > I have resumed my daily generation of coastline files.
