When a tile is rendered using Osmarender the data downloaded from the API does not include the full extent of the lake. Only those nodes and segments that are within the bounding box are provided.<br><br>For this reason Osmarender is unable to fill the lake and cannot distinguish the inside of the lake from the outside. All it has is the nodes and segments for a small part of the the lake shoreline.
<br><br>The solution to this problem is to have the API give the option to download all the nodes and segments for the complete way even if they are outside the bounding box. This would also be of benefit to JOSM which has a problem with incomplete ways and has to resort to getting each node and segment individually which is slow and probably inefficient.

I noticed that the Lake Vänern in Sweden is included in the<br>osmarenderlayer<br>in the slippymap. However there seems to be some problem about it as only<br>parts along or close to the the shores are rendered blue, have a look
