[talk-au] Port Hacking (Bay v. Water)

Some one has has edited the data since. So it is now different. 


I have removed the coastline across the entrance and removed the
natural=water tag in the multipolygon.

Also I added back the inner bays that were removed by the user.

Regards,

Markus

I'm not sure that was correct.

Looking at all ways forming the coastline there should be an uninterrupted 
sequence of ways.

Currently there appears to be:

1) one "section" of ways tagged as natural = coastline which are a 
continuous collection of ways running up the coast and across the entrance 
to the bay.

2) another "section" of ways within the bay , tagged as natural = coastline

Either the ways in the bay need to have natural = coastline removed from 
them, OR the bit across the mouth of the bay needs to have natural = 
coastline removed from it.

I cant say whether this is the reason why the bay is not rendering blue, but

it certainly is not going to help matters.  Also note that if this is the 
reason, then due to the fact that mapnik coastline layer is not updated as 
frequently as other data, then no immediate change may be noticeable.
