Jochen, it is a nice addition. 


Looking at the map, I see all of America coastline being tagged with Invalid geometry. 


Invalid geometry definition : Invalid for some unspecified reasons. This is never supposed to happen and must be fixed.

This definition is ambiguous to me. Do you mean that we should not see this error or that we have to fix something.


Other then that, with such a long coastline, it is difficult to detect where the error is.
