I home somebody will take on that project.
For reference: currently tagged as natural=coastline are - in order of their surface area: Caspian Sea Lake Michigan-Huron Lake Superior Lake Erie Lake Ontario Lake Lagoda Lake Onega Nettilling Lake IJsselmeer Rybinsk Reservoir Of these only the first three are the largest by area, the others are a more or less arbitrary selection. Of course technically geometric complexity is more relevant than surface area - but also here quite a few lakes not tagged as coastline are more complex than several of the above. Nettilling Lake is a special case since it is mapped as a bay, i.e. is no separate ring. It is in fact a lake however (~30m above sea level). Lake Ontario and Rybinsk Reservoir have both been newly tagged as coastline recently agaist the general moratorium: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/27591832 http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/28625595 -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
