thanks for the interesting analysis. > Now my questions: > > What do you think is the better way to map an updated Lake Nasser? > Make another MMP (Monster MultiPolygon) or > map it as coastline (which is discouraged in the wiki)? coastline. Everything else would seem like a nightmare and I do not think there is any reasonable ground for the distinction of coastlines according to lake/ocean type. Perhaps we should be a bit more bold and map all bigger lakes with coastline unless they have been already mapped differently.
