[Talk-us] Islands in Lakes/Rivers

[Ian Dees]

Hi list,

I've been casually working on the Minneapolis area, and one of the problems
I keep running in to is how to tag islands in the Mississippi river so that
they come out as land in the tiles and not more water. Take a peek at the
following area:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.98754&lon=-93.26285&zoom=17&layers=0BFT

The view is centered on Nicollet Island, which should be rendered as a land
mass, not water. The island's perimeter follows the "water to the right"
rule and is tagged as follows:
natural = coastline
waterway = riverbank

The surrounding river also follows the "water to the right" rule and is
tagged as follows:
natural = waterway
waterway = riverbank

What do I need to modify so that the island shows up correctly?

Thanks,
Ian
