Firstly I don't think I have ever responded in a "rant" style fashion on the OSM mailing lists before, but could you please qualify your insulting first comment? Are you simply a troll, are are you simply so pathetic and small-minded not to realise that a) Freemap is a hobbyist project and is thus inevitably subject to
limitations in server power and b) any time I spend on it is my own spare time, I am unable to work on it 24/7? If you think it could be improved I suggest you check out the source code at https://github.com/nickw1/Freemap and contribute, rather than pathetically insulting and denigrating a lot of hard work? I do You are the first person I have ever launched a "rant" at in eight years of contributing to OSM - well done ;-) Come back when you have some positive suggestions as to how I can improve Freemap without needing to invest more money in it, or when you have some source code to contribute, otherwise....<br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: lucida console,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: lucida console,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>2. I always thought
lakes were simply represented as natural=water. Anything special about these two which suggests they shouldn't? True, they have islands in them but so does Derwentwater.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: lucida console,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: lucida console,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Nick<br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: lucida console,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: lucida console, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span

Well, to be honest, there's your problem. Freemap, to me, is a bit
of a joke.<br>

No, they're in the multipolygon.

Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] Windermere and Rydal Water -
missing<br>

<div><font face="Courier New,Courier,monospace" size="3">What
do you think is wrong with them?<br>
<br>
They're visible in mapnik, & most ways haven't
been edited since <br>
January. There does appear to be a bit of pointless
overuse of <br>
multipolygons to represent riverbanks, but nothing
that makes them <br>
'missing'.<br>
