Hello. I want to download information about oceans and seas so I can extract their bounding boxes. The OSM wiki says place=sea or place=ocean and data should be nodes ideally and possibly ways. However, I have done generous queries such as: (node["name"~"north sea",i];);out; and get nothing useful back. I was sort of expecting an array of nodes giving some fuzzy outline of the North Sea. I'd eventually like to be able to navigate a hierarchy such as Atlantic Ocean / English Channel / Southampton Water. Maybe then link it up to rivers that flow into these bodies of water. So is there a way to retrieve through overpass API the extents of oceans, seas and other bodies of salty water? Kind regards, Chessel |
