---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michal Migurski <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 2:40 AM Subject: [OSM-talk] Argh, Canvec imports To: Talk Openstreetmap <[email protected]> A cry of frustration: I do bimonthly runs of the worldwide coastlines (http://metro.teczno.com/#coastline), and Canada seems to be a recurring source of problems. What the heck is going on up there? I consistently see new imports of what seems to be Canvec data screwing up coastlines and making for some deeply broken renders: http://mike.teczno.com/img/broken-coast.png Most of that junk in the Atlantic Ocean is newly introduced within the last few weeks, and is making it difficult to get out a clean coastline suitable for rendering. It shows up in the main OSM mapnik tiles in Hudson Bay, too: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=55.7&lon=-83.6&zoom=5&layers=M I've been trying to fix problems as I encounter them and I've managed to fix invalid coastilnes around Baltimore, Houston, Tampa and the dreaded Montréal area in an effort to generate a usable map of North America, but this Canvec stuff is absolutely killing me. -mike. ---------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- [email protected] 415.558.1610 _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
