Large lakes may disappear in openstreetmap vector map

Former Member over 4 years ago

I use the openstreetmap vector map layer when making courses at connect.garmin.com. I've noted that some of our big lakes in Sweden disappear when you zoom in, like lake Storuman, Torneträsk, Uddjaure and Storavan, and also parts of Hornavan. I haven't looked elsewhere in the world but I'm assuming it's a problem with many big lakes all over.

Other openstreetmap map providers with vector tiles like maptiler doesn't have this problem so I don't think it's a OSM data problem, but a bug in the map Garmin uses.

It would need more checking what made the problem, because it's an old copy of OSM.

Connect Web updates sometimes OSM data, but only for generating the HeatMap layer (updated about spring 2020).

They don't update normal layer for long time.

Maybe style's rules are wrong, but maybe there was some problem with the data at the time of creating that copy. You would need to compare it with other old copies, and also check if there is the problem with lakes on other regions.

For now, you can redirect to original OSM (or other source) using browser's add-on: Map data is over 4 years old.
