Hi list, I want to forward this email from osm-discuss mailing list, because I came across this issue with rivers and lakes also in Japan.
When you open the lakes from the link in an editor like JOSM you will see, that there are rivers inside the lakes. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.492&lon=133.151&zoom=11&layers=M I think this happens due to data imports, so the question is: shall we keep the rivers as imported or remove rivers when they are within a lake (as Martin says). I don't think it makes sense to have "virtual" rivers, so I agree with Martin. Daniel 2010/10/26 maning sambale <[email protected]>: > from mountain peak to coast. There are > exceptions of course. Yes, usually a river gets "interrupted" when entering a lake, and restarts when leaving the lake. Cheers, Martin PS: There is also a visualisation of waterways by Geofabrik (only Europe) http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=water&lon=25.57324&lat=48.97589&zoom=5&overlays=bodies_of_water,bodies_of_water,broken_bow,vmap0_rivers,long_rivers,waterways_river,waterways_stream,waterways_drain,waterways_canal,waterways_riverbank,waterways_other,waterways_width,waterways_in_tunnels,waterways_on_bridges,waterways_without_names,waterway_nodes,coastline,coastline,simple_islands,coastline_nodes,rivermouths,coastline_not_simple,coastline_unconnected _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- Georepublic UG & Georepublic Japan eMail: [email protected] Web: http://georepublic.de
