[OSM-talk] rendering of large rivers

[Chris Hill]

I have tagged the rivers Trent and Ouse which merge into the Humber estuary to get it to render and be consistently tagged.  I tried a few schemes and got advice from others, especially David Groom.  I broke up the river into chunks.  I tagged the banks of these chunks as waterway=riverbank and natural=water.  I tagged the islands in the same way.  I then created a multipolygon relation to place the islands in the river.  I had to get the direction of the way right to persuade the multipolygon relation to work.  Near the mouth of the river a chunk of coastline extends into the river.

You can see the result at http://www.informationfreeway.org/?lat=53.70&lon=-0.599&zoom=12

 cheers, Chris
