Hello, Another update on the conversion of the Great Lakes shoreline plus one question.
After something like 10,000 islands, the conversion of the Canadian shore of Lake Huron (including Georgian Bay) to use the canvec data is completed! That is a LOT of islands. Given the magnitude of the task, few changes were made to the land side of things. That's not quite true as all the islands had all features added - including Manitoulin Island. For the areas that have been rendered it looks much better. It could be a few weeks before the remainder of the shoreline is updated. I have started moving down the St Clair River (connecting Lake Huron and Lake Erie) and have a question: Is there any preferred method to decide where to stop using coastline and to start using natural=water? There are some channels that cut off a large part of the mainland in NE Lake St. Clair which could easily be used as the shoreline. That would be a huge change from the current shoreline though. Additionally, the route of the current shoreline would be time consuming to maintain as it would involve cutting up a number of areas that canvec renders as water. I'd think the best route would be to use the definition of the shoreline as defined by some official governmental body, if such a thing exists. Any suggestions? Even an answer of 'just do what is convenient' would be helpful. -- James (Jay) Treacy [email protected] _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
