From the point of view of editing permissions, even a blob drawn in the rough shape of the country that's about 30km bigger than the actual coastline would do.Timbones wrote:If anyone can find a rights-free outline of Ireland, let me know...
Good point - I noticed that showing up recently; didn't think of applying it to this landmark though!iainhouse wrote:Forgot to mention: do you know that landmarks now have a handle in the centre that you can use to drag the entire landmark?

Oof; that was fiddly - the drag handle is in the middle of the bay, which is quite large - so when you zoom in far enough to drag the handle, there are no visible points of reference, so it's hard to work out how far to drag it.davidg666 wrote:Good point - I noticed that showing up recently; didn't think of applying it to this landmark though!iainhouse wrote:Forgot to mention: do you know that landmarks now have a handle in the centre that you can use to drag the entire landmark?

Presumably it's protected by Openstreetmap's copyright conditions and we can't use it directly (except perhaps as a reference?) for Waze sea/ocean landmark creation?CTCNetwork wrote:Openstreetmap have a world coast line map I think. They use it in Navdroid and it is listed as a seperate map to download should you want it.

That's exactly why I thought it would be fiddly!davidg666 wrote:the drag handle is in the middle of the bay, which is quite large - so when you zoom in far enough to drag the handle, there are no visible points of reference, so it's hard to work out how far to drag it
