Hi. I have a question regarding waterway=riverbank. Currently I am mapping coastline and thus riverbank is commonplace. I am mapping mainland (not island) coastline as shown in the following link:<br><a href="http://www.myimagehub.com/files/view/1065/coastline%20problem.PNG">
http://www.myimagehub.com/files/view/1065/coastline%20problem.PNG</a><br><br>Originally I mapped it to be unclosed riverbanks, connected to the coastline. At the mouth of the river I connected both ends together asa coastline only.
<br><br>However, osmarender did not render the river. Thus, after some consultation in #osm, it was changed to a closed riverbank instead, while the coastline still remains.<br><br>The following page mentioned nothing about waterway=riverbank need to be a closed way to be rendered properly.
<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Large_rivers">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Large_rivers</a><br><br>I also vaguely remember that my original way of mapping riverbank and coastline worked, and rendered correctly in other are I am mapping.
<br><br>My question is, does waterway=riverbank really need to be a closed way for it to be rendered properly in osmarender?<br>
