points in the osm file in Puget Sound (Edmunds WA.)  They appear to be
about 10+ meters from the shoreline according to the bing image.  Since I'm
new at this, but since I live in the Puget Sound and would like to help fix
it, what is an acceptable error distance?  Also - the bing image doesn't
give a date and time to determine the tide level.  Or am I missing
something?
