it will work in most cases, and only give questionable information when you are close to the fuzzy end towards the open sea (or another bay). In these cases there won't be a correct answer from a human either, because it simply isn't clear where that border is. > > It seems to me the desire to have bays mapped as polygons here stems > from the desire to apply such simple concepts as 'you are either inside > or outside the bay'. yes, but even more: how big is this bay (compared to others), are there bays inside bays etc. (hierarchy, nesting) cheers, Martin
