Why is the seawater on my garmin white and not blue?
I try to make the sea borderline to maritime and tag it with I used the file from http://www.raumbezug.eu/ag/internet/osmGarmin.htm. |

When mkgmap ran, it wasn't able to see the entire ocean, and thus was not able to close the way. You see this along the US coast as well. |

Firstly, the coast should be tagged as To answer the question, filling in areas of sea is actually quite complicated. This feature was only added to Mkgmap (the software used to make most OSM based Garmin maps) fairly recently, and it might still have problems with some complicated coastlines. So most pre-made OSM Garmin maps don't use this option, as they haven't updated their process or Mkgmap version since then. I'm not familiar with the Madagascar map you refer to (and the link isn't working just now), but I assume that's the case here. So if you want a Garmin map with sea filled in blue, you can try another map. You could look at the list here, and see which cover Madagascar, though I'm not sure which actually have sea areas: OSM Map On Garmin/Download Or you can generate a map yourself, using Mkgmap. If doing theis you will have to make sure you use the would one unclosed way (in this case to coast and vast) cause the problem

Note that you probably want natural=coastline for the border between the land and sea, but the answer below about not seeing the whole coastline may still be the problem.
Don't forget to accept an answer (the round checkmark button).
Unfortunately that site "could be temporarily unavailable or too busy" at the moment.
paul as answered this, it a bit like paint fill in an art program if it has not got a boundary line it would fill every thing,so it doesn't start, you should tick his answer
