First I have a lot of learning to do in terms of mapping with polygons, polygons; lines and roads I'm good with, but anyway... I'm seeing a lot of variation in the map just in my general area, San Juan, PR. I wanted to name a lagoon in the area but I quickly discovered it was actually two lagoons and then I discovered that the polygon was actually encompassing the outlets for the lagoons as well. There are other water bodies in the area that I've noticed are not polygons but are named using points and their shorelines are marked with the NOAA U.S. Vector Shoreline. The lagoons I spoke of are also marked with the NOAA U.S. Vector Shoreline. So I have a few questions. If the shoreline is marked then is there a need to create an area with the natural=water tag? Is it best practice to create an area of water and then name it or to drop a point with a name in the middle of it? Also, the outlets for the lagoons in question lead to a bridge and the polygon stops there at the bridge but I'd like to connect the water bodies under the bridge since they are continuous and navigable. Is this something that could or should be done? If you'd like to see the area I'm talking about it is San Juan, Puerto Rico. Laguna San José and Laguna Los Corozos is the natural=water area and the Bahía San Juan is the unconnected water body.
