There are various waterway views available using ITO Map, as well as many
others.
They all have global coverage and are updated daily (rarely more than 24
delay on getting new data on the map).

Hi Graham, I came across your waterways map a little while ago, and
thought it was a great visualisation tool.
I'm just now trying to take a fresh look at some of the waterways data
for the UK that's held within OSM, but I see that your map is sadly no
longer accessible (I get a 404).
If you'd
Hi Will,
I have put what I had previously back on line at
http://www.maps.webhop.net/canals.
The data is quite out of date (maybe 10 months) - I realised that I am
lacking the 'boat=' tag from my database so can not re-render it tonight -
I will re-generate it over the next couple of days.
I did
Hi Folks,
Thanks to Chris for reminding me, I have updated my canals / waterways map -
it should now be up to date as of the early hours of this morning (
http://maps.webhop.net/canals).
It looks like good progress from the last update - much more like a network
now, but there are still some

I just added navigable rivers and it looks a bit more like a network
now.
There are still a few odd gaps to investigate though.

That's putting it mildly. :)
I knew our waterway coverage was erratic but I hadn't realised it was _that_
poor. Navigable rivers are particularly

Well the New River is always fun - as the signs say, it's neither New

That is navigable, and navigated, though not as much as it was when first

In my region, The River Stort navigation, from Roydon up to the limit of
navigation to Bishops Stortford, is mostly tagged waterway=river.
But this is frequently navigated, has locks, a towpath, and is wide
enough for vessels wider than the traditional narrowboats.
I'm not a waterway

The gaps are most likely due to missing boat=yes tags. I noticed that
one river I mapped had a couple of gaps sure enough,

Richard,
A direct link to an editor would be really neat...Do you know how to do it?
I suppose I need to use javascript to detect that you have clicked on the
'edit' link, then update the link to be the map origin?
Or is there an easy way - not sure how the 'Permalink' thing works - I'll
dig
I used the OpenStreetMap homepage code for inspiration and wrote a stripped
down version for this page:
http://www.openecomaps.co.uk/map.php
Basically you give the link an ID, get the relevant variables from
OpenLayers and register events to update the link every time the map
changes.
Tom, Richard,
I think I have got an alternative way of doing it - the Openlayers Permalink
control can take a 'base' parameter, which is the url base that it links to
(like http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit).
It is working on http://maps.webhop.net/canals now.
Not as pretty as the main OSM
Another cause of 'odd gaps' seems to be large rivers that have riverbanks
drawn (waterway=riverbank), but no way down the middle tagged as
waterway=river.
I am minded to keep the rendering unchanged on the grounds that the wiki
says it should have the waterway=river way (

That works brilliantly
Thanks - I think it does show that I need to render to higher zoom levels -
it is nice to zoom in more before switching to Potlatch to reduce the load
time, but you lose my overlay tiles first.

Dealing with 'disused' was nice and easy - I have deleted disused locks
altogether and changed disused canals to a fainter, dotted line (see just
north of Carnforth near Lancaster). I am not sure I have ever seen a
'disused' canal - does this mean a ditch, or

In a rough order: tunnels, swing bridges, boatyards (marinas), mooring

That's just a wish list...
