From my Chesapeake Bay example, in OSM, Havre de Grace (290km inland) is a "coastal"city https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.5443&mlon=-76.0961#map=10/39.5443/-76.0961 though Baltimore (260km inland) is not, due to Patapsco River having its own polygon: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.2461&mlon=-76.6523#map=10/39.2461/-76.6523 Of course my "xxx km inland" depends on where you define the bay to begin, I used the US13 crossing at Norfolk. Not saying that is the measuring stick, and perhaps as a result of this discussion it needs to be tagged differently, or maybe the physical geography is different there. Or maybe we conclude that physical geography doesn't count and what counts is whether it "feels like" a coastal city ;) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
