Yes, this is the primary motive for newly tagging lakes as coastline. The elegant solution to solve this would be to improve rendering at low zooms by showing lakes in a way that does not require an arbitrary importance rating by the mapper. This is not trivial though - a bit of background can be found here: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/754 -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
