In the first example above the river has 5 waterway=riverbank ways with a role of outer. Osmarender just sees these as 5 unclosed ways which is why the results are a bit haphazard.
I note that there is an open trac ticket to add support for multiple outer ways to osmarender : http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1435 A possible interim solution would be to split the river into more than one multipolygon each with a single outer way. As this is how situations like this were handled prior to the advanced multipolygon proposal its is more likely to be supported in all renderers and editors. rcr _______________________________________________ Tilesathome mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tilesathome
