AJ, Thanks for your message and your interest in this topic. I have been reluctant to remove the natural=water tag from the relation (I am not the one that added it). I was worried that it might have widespread unintended consequences. However, given your and maxerickson's suggestion, I say we

Jim, So far no tags have been changed, I only made sure that no natural=wetlands extended into Lake Superior from Isle Royale. I will work on the relation aspect later. Mike On Sat, Apr 18, 2015 at 9:29 AM, Jim McAndrew j...@loc8.us wrote: Mike, Thanks for looking into it! I'll look at how

Jim, Isle Royale should be rendering correctly at all zoom levels. I added the ways that make up the island to the Lake Superior multipolygon relation as inner members *and* removed the natural=coastline tag from those same ways. According to the wiki [1], this is the current method for mapping

Jim, Are you referring to how Isle Royale spills into Lake Superior? Might it be a broken relation rather than a tagging issue? Mike On Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 12:57 PM, Jim McAndrew j...@loc8.us wrote: I've been noticing some weird tile issues around the Great Lakes. What is the best way to

Mike, That's the issue! I know there's some weird stuff going on with the great lakes either being coastlines or giant lakes. I don't have any experience working on something that large in OSM. We are using OSM data for an NPS map, and Isle Royale is a NPS unit, so I'd like to try to get it to

Jim, It seems to be missing a natural=coastline tag. I assuming we are treating islands in the Great Lakes like islands in the sea. Could someone confirm? I also noticed that part of a natural=wetland polygon is in the lake. Mike On Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 1:18 PM, Jim McAndrew j...@loc8.us

I assume that should be natural=verywetland, yes? Yes! - Good one! Jim, I fixed the wetlands that extended into Lake Superior. The problem you pointed out seems to have gone away. However, Above zoom level 12 Isle Royale is flooded by the lake. This is true of other islands within Lake
