[OSM-newbies] osmrenderer shows coastline land/ocean inversion, regardless of way direction

[Craig]

Thanks David,

That trick worked as you said.
It was a bit tedious as the 'island' also comprises of several
satellite islands, it serves my purpose though :-)

I wonder how the T at H osmrenderer deals with the problem?

Thanks again,
Craig
