I am trying to track down some remaining coastline errors around the world and have found a few that show up curious errors in the tools....
Dodgy circular ways --------------------------- There are a number of islands off the Swedish coast that are showing up as errors: http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/coastlines.html?zoom=16&lat=57.80195&lon=11.66246&layers=B00 If one switches to a OSM view (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?zoom=16&lat=57.80195&lon=11.66246&layers=B00 ) one can edit them. Using 'h' I can see that they haven't been touched for months, however if I click on them the tagging looks fine and the way is shown as circular. Here is the history of one of them: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/25610508/history Notice that the way appears to be a triangle, but that the way has four points on it. If it does have an extra segment in the way then why does it show up as a circular way in Potlatch? The simples thing will probably be to delete them and recreate them but I though it was worth pointing it out first. Invisible coastline near New Orleans -------------------------------------------------- There is a coastline error near New Orleans where the red dot (between Paradise Point and the river) doesn'. http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/coastlines.html?zoom=16&lat=30.27647&lon=-89.69569&layers=00BT If one switches to an OSM view (http://openstreetmap.org/?zoom=16&lat=30.27647&lon=-89.69569&layers=00BT ) and clicks 'edit' then there appears to be nothing at the point in question in Potlatch. Curiously, the coastline point appears in the data layer (as a small red dot) http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=30.27632&lon=-89.69603&zoom=16&layers=0B00FTF but not in the PotLatch edit view. It seems strange for this not to display in Potlatch (which is an editor with a lot of good features in it btw, even if there are some shortcomings too - I don't want to open a Potlatch bashing session here). Can someone with suitable tools delete this one in about 24 hours, but lets leave it so people can take a look at it first. +180* to -180* problem -------------------------------- Do we have a general problem with features can cross the 180/-180 longitude line. There is one island north east of New Zealand that does this and then there is Antarctica itself. Not sure if this is a problem with the editing tools, or the DB or what.
