No need, it's still buggy... the lastest is beta0.49  (the Google Doc's
reference is available)
.... on the other hand, when looking at the area again (after 6 months) it's
handy to run the script based on the latest canvec data.   In April the
canvec data got updated.

Thats the file HD_1480009_2waterbody_GeoBase
and HD_1470009_1single_line_watercourse_GeoBase
However, you'll notice that HD_1460009_2hydrographic_obstacle_entity_GeoBase
covers the same area as water, but it gets shown as 'reef'  which is
probably better.
Im starting to thing i should omit the HD_1480009_2waterbody_GeoBase and
have it in the extra folder, because of this overlap   (see Ucluelet sample
area)

Yes, we should have a mapping party to cover those details soon.  In person
is ALOT easier to explain whats going on.
