[OSM-dev] Algorithmic Problem

[Bernhard R. Fischer]

I'm working on Smrender, a renderer for paper (sea) charts. I encountered a 
specific problem.

Does anybody have a suggestion on how to determine if a node is either on land 
or on the sea in the special case if the OSM data does not contain any piece 
of a coastline?

Thanks in advance,
Bernhard
