Questionable<br>shows coastline rings with possible problems. There are several different kinds<br>of problems that are shown in this way: a) Coastline rings that touch other<br>coastline rings in a single point. Those should probably be fixed. b) Coastline<br>rings having the wrong direction. Those should be fixed. c) Smaller water areas<br>inside a continent. Those should probably be changed to use natural=water or<br>similar tags. Use your judgement in all these cases! <br><br>See <a href="http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=coastline" target="_blank">http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=coastline</a><br><br>Jochen<br>--
