Map readability isn't that good with water components

[KaZeR]

Report from ML :

"Lakes are colored blue, but the sea is not. All I get

is a blue coastline. When looking quickly, one wonders if it is the coast or some river. But I don't know - maybe this is a map problem rather than a navit problem? Having the sea in the same color as the city doesn't work too well."

May concern mainly OSM maps (sea)

[cp15]

coast lines need to be converted to polygons, which is a lengthy, complicated and due to incomplete osm data a probably not always working task

is this the reason why ​http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.527&lon=-73.572&zoom=10&layers=B00FTF 's water is not color-filled in navit?

Replying to cp15:

coast lines need to be converted to polygons, which is a lengthy, complicated and due to incomplete osm data a probably not always working task

Since rev 1401, there is a perl script (osm2navit_sea) that can transform a .osm file to render the sea. It needs to be integrated in osm2navit.
