Well, this one is sure weird. I finally tracked it down to the OSM Relation#272896, the shoreline of Grande-Terre of Guadaloupe. For some reason (not seen elsewhere for islands in OSM), this shoreline is given a length and width, which is being rendered as the width of the beach along the shoreline, rather than as the length and width of the whole landmass. Since the width of the island is listed as 35000 meters, that draws the shoreline as a stripe that overlaps in the center of the island and extends beyond the coastline into the Caribbean Sea by 17500 meters (yes, over 10 statute miles). Hence the huge brown stain on the map that still has an irregular boundary (an amplified version of what the actual shoreline looks like).
I'm not sure how to fix this, except possibly ignoring OSM width values for shorelines and coastlines (assuming they are infinitely thin at the water's edge halfway between high and low tide). The boxed-out white area where there should be the Caribbean Sea is still my issues with the osmcoastline utility. I will take another try at fixing that when I bring in the latest snapshot of the OSM data and import it.

It looks more like an island somewhere in the southern Caribbean (especially given the border line bubbling around it labeled America/Puerto_Rico timezone). What latitude and longitude were you at? |
