Hi, I guess this is an old issue; but there appears to be a problem when displaying OSM coastlines in Mapsource. Have a squiz at these three images of Noosa (QLD):
# Mapsource - good old Shonky looks - good http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9489/clipboard02j.jpg # OSM <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-26.3806&lon=153.08917&zoom=15> - on the Web is good - http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4807/clipboard03ph.jpg # Mapsource - OSM is rubbish! - http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8682/clipboard04tf.jpg Rivers get to be blue but the sea is invariably white with a demarcation line somewhere at the mouth or up river. Tagging looks fine. The Mapsource (and I presume GPS - I don't own a mapping Garmin) display problem could be associated with a dis-continuous coastline polygon (the 'Coastline Error Checker' shows a few current issues for Aus). I guess this is an ongoing issue, as folk fiddle? However I also suspect there is some deeper issue, as NZ's coastline appears to be a closed polygon; with the same problem. If anyone has info or solutions for this problem, please advise. In the meantime don't go boating with OSM aboard. J
