<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span>Hi,<br>
<br>
I guess this is an old issue; but there appears to be a problem when displaying
OSM coastlines in Mapsource. Have a squiz at these three images of Noosa (QLD):<br>
<br>
# Mapsource - good old Shonky looks - good http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9489/clipboard02j.jpg<br>
# <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-26.3806&lon=153.08917&zoom=15"
target="_blank">OSM</a> - on the Web is good - http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4807/clipboard03ph.jpg<br>
# Mapsource - OSM is rubbish! - http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8682/clipboard04tf.jpg<br>
<br>
Rivers get to be blue but the sea is invariably white with a demarcation line
somewhere at the mouth or up river. Tagging looks fine. The Mapsource (and I
presume GPS – I don’t own a mapping Garmin) display problem could
be associated with a dis-continuous coastline polygon (the ‘Coastline Error
Checker’ shows a few current issues for Aus). I guess this is an ongoing issue,
as folk fiddle? <br>
<br>
However I also suspect there is some deeper issue, as NZ's coastline appears to
be a closed polygon; with the same problem. If anyone has info or solutions for
this problem, please advise.<o:p></o:p></p>
