[mkgmap-dev] Understanding the sea

Wed Dec 30 06:42:06 GMT 2009

I am doing some test as well.  These are 3 problem islands I notice in my area:
http://osm.org/go/4jc4Tp
http://osm.org/go/4ymKMQ3
http://osm.org/go/4zK1EaT

When creating a map for the whole country the above group of islands
are always flooded.  The data seems to be correct.  I then created
separate maps within the bbox of the island and the sea polygon is OK.

Very common in the 3 examples are the very small islands almost close
to each other.  See example links:
