I don't think this particular case has anything todo with the 'min triangle' issue. Instead it is simply that the coastline is not sufficiently accurate for the area involved. This is a common problem with smallish islands and the DCW data. note that the GSHHS data was intended to be used for 'crude' navigation and often has a much better resolution then its nominal scale in situations like this. ie look at the vmap0 representation for many islands and you will find that they are just 3 or 4 points wheas the same in GSHHS will show things ike atols and barrier reefs for the same place Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
