I'm wondering how to fix up Lake Illawarra?
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-34.5213&lon=150.8437&zoom=13
This does not render as blue water in the OSM Australia maps when
viewed in MapSource or my Garmin GPS. I suspect this is because the
inlet is not closed off; also the northern side of the inlet and part
of the eastern edge of the lake is made up of the coastline tag
extended inland. There is also some coastline tag on the south-western
edge. The remainder of the lake outline appears to be only the ABS
boundary.
Should it be the case that the coastline tag should only be on the
actual coast (and should also be used to close off the inlet)? Then
should the actual lake entrance and lake itself be outlined using the
natural=water tag (going clockwise)? If so, should the lake outline be
separate from the ABS boundary?
Ken.
