There seems to be an unintended side effect to this statement:<br>> The maritime borders are 12nm out to sea from the coastline.<br> <br>Bass Strait seems to have been given over to international waters according to that statement. <br>
There are some weird lines around Vic / Tas and the Bass Strait islands at the moment on zoom level 7 which i assume are linked to this converstation.<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 8:35 PM, John Smith <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:deltafoxtrot256@gmail.com">deltafoxtrot256@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Click to display the validation plugin panel or press Alt+Shift+V then<br>
click on the validate button, make sure nothing is selected or only<br>
the selection with be validated, you could make things a little more<br>
specific by first searching for natural=coastline segments.<br>

</div>So does mapnik, but they cheated to get round most problems by<br>
creating a shape file first.<br>

</div>Which was made redundent by creating shape files from the coastline<br>
segments before relations existed, although this is probably still a<br>

</div>Yes, but coastlines should be much less nodes otherwise you start<br>
hitting problems similar to those in the Philippines...<br>
