[OSM-dev] invalid geometry in planet_polygon

[Jukka Rahkonen]

Hi,

Usually they are data errors.  Finland.osm seems to have 65 such errors. A
fast way to have a look at the faulty geometries is to run the SQL query
with OpenJUMP.  Use the Run Datastore Query option and run your query as

select asbinary(way), osm_id from planet_osm_polygon WHERE NOT
st_isvalid(way)

Then you can use OpenJUMP QA tools for finding out where the error exactly
is.
