I agree. Areas will come ever more complicated with data imports and tracing from high resolution images. I checked that the biggest lake polygon in the official Finnish mapping data has 287273 vertices, 5484 islands and the total length of this simple polygon is more that 5276 kilometers. It would be quite a beast as OSM multipolygon relation. -Jukka- > Bye > Frederik > > _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
