[OSM-talk] Coastline generation resumed

[Paul Norman]

I have resumed my daily generation of coastline files. These are generated
with the coastcheck program[1] from my jxapi database starting at 5 AM
pacific time. They take 3-4 hours to generate and upload, depending on my
internet speed at the time.

The completed files are uploaded to
http://pnorman.dev.openstreetmap.org/coastlines/

If opening these shapefiles in QGIS be sure to create a spatial index for
tolerable performance.

There is a visualization of errors at http://www.wightpaths.co.uk/coast/

Many of the errors appear to be short errors between ways that became
disconnected. More complicated errors are often best fixed by deleting the
bad coastline and retracing.
