Hi Steve,
I would propose to have a look in the osm wiki. There is plenty of information you need to know to understand how osm works... About coastline updating frequency... http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Coastline http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Coastline_error_checker You will understand why the shoreline/coastline doesn't update frequently !-) About features tagged natural=coastline and source=PGS... Early osm "large" water bodies were created using Landsat imageries. There were no way to make the difference between inland water and the actual coastline. But you can! http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Almien_coastlines_(PGS) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Prototype_Global_Shoreline Welcome on the list :-) Daniel _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steven Brown Sent: October-24-10 17:48 To: [email protected] Subject: [Talk-ca] Shoreline adjustments? Hi talk-ca, This is my first post to this list. I was wondering how long it takes for the shoreline to be updated? I corrected a shoreline error here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.918 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.918&lon=-118.0157&zoom=14&layers=M> &lon=-118.0157&zoom=14&layers=M, however it hasn't updated yet. Also I was wondering why this is a shoreline, as it's an inland river. The same river in the states is a waterway=riverbank. Thanks,
