Hi,
I know that was an old message,

I've uploaded a sample from
http://osm.progysm.com/rncan/geobase/nhn_rhn/01/nlflow/
NHN_01EA000_1_1_HN_NLFLOW_1.0.xml.gz<http://osm.progysm.com/rncan/geobase/nhn_rhn/01/nlflow/NHN_01EA000_1_1_HN_NLFLOW_1.0.xml.gz>
NHN_01EA000_1_1_HN_NLFLOW_1.1.xml.gz<http://osm.progysm.com/rncan/geobase/nhn_rhn/01/nlflow/NHN_01EA000_1_1_HN_NLFLOW_1.1.xml.gz>

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59007447

You can see where the blue arrows are.  I added the tag from
waterway=stream  and in some cases, added oneway=yes

This is the 'linear network flow'  so what it does is show the direction of
the water flow & perhaps the current of the water.
Showing an arrow on the water is great for marriners to use the map, so they
would know the best routing on the water
& canoeists to navigate the waters.  It would also (maybe?) be the center
line of the water area.

Anyway, this data is not going to be available in canvec, & the WMS for it
is available which shows these lines

So my question is, should this be changed from sub_sea=steam to
waterway=stream (and add oneway=yes) to those that dont have oneway attached
already?  (The name isn't needed, because it is usually on all the
waterbody)

Thanks,
