Well, what about salt water lakes? Im aware of at least 2 spots where the low tide level is below a sand bar, which causes a salt lake to form, so your idea of the coastline depends on whether its high tide and the sand bar is covered (meaning the lake is navigable) or the bar is exposed in which case its a lake where you cant navigate back into the ocean. Just to throw a spanner in the argument. David _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
