Coastline data obeys land on left? #28

Closed Chessel85 closed 4 months ago

Chessel85 commented 4 months ago

in OSM the coastline ways have a rule that the land is on the left of the way. Is this rule also true for the coastline data? that is, the 815k lines.

This should be true, yes. But in general you should use the created polygons instead of the lines if this is important to you.
