[OSM-talk] How to tag a big lake

[Hakan Tandogan]

Hi,


I just finished a big lake ( Lake Egirdir in Turkey,
http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~ojw/Browse/?x=2398&y=1576&z=12&tileset=0 )
which fills 4 x 8 Level 12 tiles. The ways around the lake have no gaps,
go clockwise and are all tagged with k="natural" v="water".

The result is, predictably, less than pretty ;-)

How do you guys tag big lakes? Do you add additional segments inside each
tile to make the polygon "complete" enough to satisfy the renderers or
leave the correct polygon and wait for the renderers to fix the problem?


Regards,
Hakan
