Update boundaries from NaturalEarth #4084
Comments
Author: skorasaurus Can confirm this bug being still exists. My first guess is that the ways [example http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/136107215 ] Toebee believes that the z0-3 the data doesn't come from OSM, but from a shapefile which may have been what you were referring to - https://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/subversion/applications/rendering/mapnik/get-coastlines.sh#L46 the 110m_admin_0_boundary_lines contains only inland country borders and no coastline. world_boundaries_m has country borders including coastline and world_bnd_m has the same but tiled |
Author: ToeBee Yep. z0 doesn't have any country borders. Borders at z1-3 actually come from the file downloaded at line 50 instead of 46 like I thought at first in get-coastlines.sh: So technically this isn't really an OpenStreetMap problem but a naturalearth problem. The only thing OSM could do would be to stop using this naturalearth shapefile and produce our own instead like we do with coastlines. About the only thing I can suggest in the mean time is using the "Find a problem?" link on the naturalearth site. They haven't put out a new version since 2009 so maybe if enough people bug them, they will get around to it.

The version history on that link is out of date - the shapefile download is not. It may be worth just waiting a few days though as I believe an even newer release of Natural Earth is imminent (2) |
Author: Ohr Well, the problem might be caused by a broken link in https://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/subversion/applications/rendering/mapnik/get-coastlines.sh#L50 Currently the script uses By the way, the same problem applies to the populated places downloaded in the line above which should be |

The Mapnik map at zoom levels 1 to 3 does not show South Sudan yet. After some searching this probably is caused by outdatet administrative boundaries from Naturalearth.
So I would kindly ask to update the 110m admin 0 data set to the latest version available at Naturalearth.
