Bonjour James,

A wetland outside of land is allowed in Canvec and in Osm...

Hello,
Is it allowed to have wetland outside of land?

A good example, is in tile 040J03.3 where there is an island called Bois Blanc Island in canvec (I've also seen it referred to as Boblo Island). Most of the island is a single inner way but there is wetland connected to the island outside of this way.

This impacts coastlines too. If wetlands should not be outside a coastline way, then import is going to be much more difficult in some cases as a number of ways will need to be cut up to make a new coastline. For example, the island mentioned above is in an area that is rendered using coastlines (river between two great lakes).

So, is it ok to have wetland outside a coastline?
Does the canvec to osm conversion need to be changed?
