Detecting Oceans/Seas/Lakes/Rivers based on lat/lon

Hi people,

I’m trying to geocode water lands with nominatim: the idea is to use the nominatim API to input a latitude and a longitude, and have a boolean return if the point is inside a sea, ocean, lake or river. Is it possible?

Thank you

Alby

I don’t know an exact answer.

But I recommend to aks at https://help.openstreetmap.org

or even http://gis.stackexchange.com

But do a SEARCH first for your topic with good key words. I think there has been a topic already about your aim.
