[OSM-talk] Coastlines

There are no plans that I am aware of to re-import coastline data for areas already covered.

The rendering issue depends on what slippy map you view the data in.  For instance the Tiles at home osmarender layer  always seems to display coastlines correctly, whereas the mapnik layers as you say are a bit of a mess.

Before you do any editing it might be useful to know why mapnik is having a problem, so you know what it is you are trying to cure.  

Is it simply a case that the ways no do contain an ordered list of segments, which is relatively easy to fix as JOSM has a menu option which will re-order segments.

  Welcome to OSM. May all your movements become GPXes :-)

  Does this script-based coastline data get re-imported or is it something that will stay permanently?  I noticed Teignmouth in Devon was a bit of a mess from the renderings (wrong points joined together), but to edit this and find it all overwritten or duplicated by a script seemed a bit pointless.
