[Talk-ca] [OSM-talk] Coastline missing in Lake Superior - in case anyone notices...

[Sam Vekemans]

yup,
as long as you put back the crappy coast.... and you'll make it better
if you can, it's good.
you can make it a relation, but also, make it as a tag on the ways.
.... so then it's still good on the us side and the garmin side..


cheers,
sam.


im actually being sloppy and keeping crappy coast, as its tedious
doing the coast my way.   i have done the north tip of vancouver
island, but now avoiding it and workig inland :)
