I have noticed that Port Hacking still doesn't appear in blue on the Mapnik Layer. Maybe natural=bay isn't supported as multipolygons. On the wikki it only shows usage to be for nodes and ways. It doesn't make sense though that it worked ok on Botany Bay.
I had a look at world usage of natural=bay tag value uses node way relation natural bay 15,286 15,029 240 17 Maybe it should be natural=water after all. Any ideas.

I've split off some of the other bays (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/6103886), I wasn't sure if these should also form part of the mulitpolygon as well as outer. Also it seems the main boundary for Port Hacking is a way traced from Yahoo, it is close to the ABS administrative boarder, I was wondering if we should just place the Port Hacking boarder on the ABS boundary. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
