http://layers.openstreetmap.fr/?zoom=5&lat=39&lon=-90&layers=B0000FFFFFFFFFF TFFFFFFFFFF shows admin_level=6 boundary relations. It might take a second to load. Coverage of polygons is actually very good. I'd say the biggest problem is ways that almost overlap and should be shared, but don't. As random examples see http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/36.2061/-95.7886 or http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/32.2600/-80.9969 The Canada/US border in Vancouver used to be a particularly horrific example. The countries shared a way, but there were separate ways for the cities of Surrey and Blaine as well as the GVRD, Whatcom County, British Columbia and Washington State meaning if you drew a line going north/south you'd cross 7 ways, all slightly different. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
