I'm not actually looking for closed polygons - quite the opposite. The closest thing from what you describe is coastline_i, or maybe coastline_c. In theory this should be equivalent to just getting the raw ways out of OSM, but osm2pgsql prevents this. Would it be possible to make coastline_i available? -mike. ---------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- m...@stamen.com 415.558.1610 _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
