[OSM-talk] Computing the 12-mile line

[Aun Johnsen (via Webmail)]

I created control lines perpendicular on the coast and used these to find
the nodes for the 12-nm line, where the distance to other country was less
than 24 nm I used the same technique to find the mereidan line between the
countries. I did this along the entire coast of Brazil. I will need to redo
it with a script and a position database for baseline, 12nm, 24nm and eez

I used JOSM, as I can move around on the map freely, and get lengths of
lines as I create them (12nm = 22224m)
