[OSM-newbies] Getting waterways to render

natural = coastline is the correct method, with the segments going anticlockwise (ie water to the right)

  Hi,

  At least one of the islands is tagged with natural=land, is this the correct way to tag it, or
  should it be natural=coastline ?

  thanks

    My first step would be to look at all the islands in the harbour.


    The water should be to the right hand side of the segments.  Although this is true for an area of the main city coastline I looked at, it is not true for a number of the islands in the harbour.

      Hi,

      The city I live in (Sydney) has geographically important areas of bays/rivers where
      that map 'looks wrong' without the bodies of water.

      I thought I understood how to get them to render in osmarender - but I was wrong, I ended 
      up confusing the renderer and turning the whole tile blue ;-( So  can someone tell me how
      to get these to render.

      thanks
