The BoundaryLine dataset should contain the mean-high-water and mean-low-water coastlines as vector data. I wouldn't therefore copy the StreetView raster for coastlines. If we're going to import any of it, something like the coastlines might make sense (the original coastlines were largely done via import - and there is probably no better source - e.g. even areas with Yahoo imagery will only show the coast at one particular snapshot in the tide-cycle). _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
