Hi, Joe.
Ouch! You found a _very_ obscure bug in the OSM importer. Due to the peculiar methodology used to enter East Lake into OpenStreetMap, as one unlabeled way for the shoreline and one unlabeled way for the small island within the lake, plus a relation with the labelling tying the two ways together, YAAC made the false assumption that everything needed for the outer shoreline was in the original way. This was not the case; all the details (name, type of area, etc.) were on the relation. But YAAC discarded the relation with all the details as being a point-for-point duplicate of the unlabeled way, and YAAC doesn't render ways without labelling information.
This will be fixed in the next build, but I'll have to wait for the next weekly OSM snapshot to be available before I start the all-day import of the planet again. No point in doing it on the current snapshot that will be outdated in a few days.

Hi Andrew
Thanks for the new build. The rendering of the mapping in my area around Lake Ontario and Prince Edward County more generally is perfect, as far as I can tell. The shoreline rendering is so good now that small creeks and rivers can easily be discerned even at higher levels of zoom. However, the small (relative to Lake Ontario) lake in front of my house called East Lake is still missing. While the shoreline is there, the area of the map where the lake is is not coloured blue but is still white. The coordinates of the lake are 43.9189 N and 77.2003 W. For reference, there are two weather stations, (mine VA3JLF-1 and VE3EP-1 Ian) on the south east shore of what should be the lake.
Please let me know if I can provide you with any further information to enable you to locate the lake. As I mentioned to you earlier, the lake is found on the OpenStreetMap original mapping.
Thanks again for your efforts. From what you have said before, this map rendering is not for the faint of heart!
Your support of your software is also very much appreciated.
Joe VA3JLF
