<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Just to be clear the error points layer is
automatically updated from Paul's files. The other error layers require
manual generation so may only get done once a day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also due to the number of error points the map
current won't display in some (maybe all) versions of IE, but is OK in Firefox
& Chrome. I can't be bothered to fix this, as the number of error
points is falling daily, and so it won't be an issue in a while.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Minor update: I am now running three times a day. Exact upload

Errors points are<BR>definitely going down. Many thanks for David Groom for
both hosting the<BR>visualization and for often fixing errors before I can get
to them, even<BR>though I know when my runs finish.<BR><BR>> From: Paul

PM<BR>> To: 'osm-talk'<BR>> Subject: [OSM-talk] Coastline generation
resumed<BR>> <BR>> I have resumed my daily generation of coastline
files. These are<BR>> generated with the coastcheck program[1] from my
jxapi database starting<BR>> at 5 AM pacific time. They take 3-4 hours to
generate and upload,<BR>> depending on my internet speed at the
time.<BR>> <BR>> The completed files are uploaded to<BR>> <A
href="http://pnorman.dev.openstreetmap.org/coastlines/">http://pnorman.dev.openstreetmap.org/coastlines/</A><BR>>
<BR>> If opening these shapefiles in QGIS be sure to create a spatial
index<BR>> for tolerable performance.<BR>> <BR>> There is a
visualization of errors at <A
href="http://www.wightpaths.co.uk/coast/">http://www.wightpaths.co.uk/coast/</A><BR>>
<BR>> Many of the errors appear to be short errors between ways that
became<BR>> disconnected. More complicated errors are often best fixed by
deleting<BR>> the bad coastline and retracing.<BR>> <BR>> [1]: <A
