Ross' problem was that the Murray River is using ABS data, which for the most part is still the best resource available except where Nearmap covers now, however no one has updated around Echuca yet, but I've updated a fair bit from the most easterly Nearmap coverage of the Murray river and have slowly been working my way west. > Some can now be seen on Nearmap, and this is enough resolution to split the > river from the admin boundary. > This might be best done by drawing in riverbanks and making areas of the > river. The bits I've updated I've left the boundary tagged as waterway=river, but unlike most other rivers the boundary is the southern side of the river, rather than how most rivers are drawn with a way down the centre, so what I did was use the boundary as part of a multipolygon, rather than drawing separate polygons, and this seems to render correctly: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-36.08434&lon=146.84911&zoom=15&layers=B000FTF _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
