[OSM-talk] Tracing coastline by hand unnecessarily

Hi,

Well for some reason PGS often has coastlines like

--+
  +--+
     +--+
        +--+
           +--+

using a lot of points, where in OSM you can just do

  +
   \
    \
     \
      \
       +

so it should well be possible to have the whole PGS coastline with 14
million points... but obviously we haven't simplified enough.

Bye
Frederik
