That's right. Since it is a raster based process only structures large enough to be resolved in the raster will be taken into account. The Peenestrom misses the cutoff by a small distance here. A possible solution would be to distinctly tag such waterways, in this case: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/102832340 with something like waterway=strait and then consider those in addition to the coastline itself during generalization. Usedom however is currently no real island in OSM anyway since only one side is tagged as coastline: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/174336199 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/7724629 -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
