[OSM-talk] Current ODbL coastlines and new OSM Inspector coastline view

[Jochen Topf]

I have updated openstreetmapdata.com. You'll find coastlines and land and water
polygons generated from current ODbL data as shapefiles for download. From now
on this data will again be updated daily.

This data is generated with the OSMCoastline program (it is Open Source, you
can also run it yourself, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSMCoastline).
You can use the data as a replacement for the processed_p shapefiles when
rendering Mapnik tiles.

To help debugging coastline problems we have added a coastline view to the
Geofabrik OSM Inspector at http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=coastline . 
A more detailed description of this view with tips on how to fix the coastline
data is at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Inspector/Views/Coastline .
This view will also be updated daily (also from the result of the OSMCoastline
program).
