Main rivers in Lithuania #923

Open tomass opened 1 week ago

tomass commented 1 week ago

Raster data „Cross Blended Hypso with Relief, Water, Drains, and Ocean Bottom“ contains main rivers, but in Lithuania it looks like this: paveikslas Red dots are on main river - Nemunas. It flows from Belarus through Lithuania into the Baltic sea. In Kaunas (near the largest reservoir visible in this raster) Neris (second largest river) flows into Nemunas (Neris is with blue dots). Nemunas is larger (wider) river than Neris even way up the stream from their meeting point. Therefore current view with small part of Nemunas then being continued upstream as Neris is strange and misleading. It is usual in the region to display much more of Nemunas. Example 1 - only Nemunas is depicted, continuing from Kaunas southwards (Neris is skipped): paveikslas Example 2: paveikslas

Is the new version, in public beta, any better?
