Hi Matt,<br><br>with symbol you are limited to 50 by default but can redefined to something bigger, see MAXSIZE for CLASS<span class="HOEnZb"></span> in docs<br>though you can create a new polygon to cover the sea near the coast. I'm not sure which way is faster in production, just make some tests<br>

Happy new year<br><br>I am wanting to run a wide line down the coast of a map (to cover up some less then perfect data underneath).<br><br>Basically I want to draw a thin blue line for the coast, and a thick (say 1000px) light blue line to the right to cover the ocean.<br>
