These two boundaries mention a source but provide no link. I presume these are the boundaries that drew Sam's attention. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/28188776 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/48283172 These boundaries are more specific about their source and include a link. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/40403966 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/42394470 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/50752242 The Russian boundary relation includes lines that extend beyond the northern map boundary http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/60189 Many other national boundaries appear to be based on a fixed distance from land. Perhaps the 200nm eez? The Canadian boundary relation http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/148837 The Norwegian boundary relation http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/52823 By comparison, Greenland has no boundary relation currently. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/424312026 _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
