Coastlines Help

Posted by GamePancakes on 30 September 2015 in English.

This is my first diary entry and I’ve been here editing for a while. UL052 is my region.

I have one question on coastlines. I have a new section of coastline I want to add in but it exceeds the way limit. I use JOSM because the coastlines take really long to load for me in the traditional editor. How do you get around this? I need some detailed instructions.

Not much to it - just use an additional way. Make sure the two coastline ways join directly, without anything else at that node.

I just added a short description of the “too many nodes” problem to the OGF:Coastline Maintenance page. Other users are free to add more detail, too. It’s not really a hard problem to solve, especially in JOSM - as long as you maintain the integrity of the closed coastline “loop.”
