Does anyone know how to get coastlines for Svalbard (http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=78.99&lon=14.9 ), I know three people who are going there this summer so I was thinking of giving them a GPS for the trip. There is one guy who is going there by sea[1] so he will need a coastline to moor his ship.
Svalbard mapping is in a sad state, perhaps the Polar bear likes cartographers too much. The i-cube sattelite images from OpenAerial ends at the norweigan cost, the Google maps coast line is of higher resolution that OSM but still very low res. Not even Norweigan maps of the area are easily available[2] [1]http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3203#p3203 [2]http://www.gulesider.no/kart/?ps=2&companies=&n=80.4676619527361&s=75.9851782341589&e=24.834321988076&w=6.37208972333081&panX=116&panY=-77&tool=pan&scrollX=0&scrollY=0&zoomFactor=undefined -- /emj _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
