international boundaries) should be treated carefully to assure that Nominatim searches work properly. We already lost some shorelines.

When a way describing the limits of a town or a region overlaps other levels (ie. province, international borders), do we keep this way independant or integrate with the other information ? And it would be better I think to keep administrative boundaries information separated from other Canvec file imports.<br></span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-style:italic;color:rgb(0, 0, 191);font-weight:bold;">Pierre Béland <br></span><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
