 ; Landmass:  Separates the land from the sea. It can be used as a mask for all other data. The most commonly used is the VMAP0 Landmass, but GSHHS can also be used. When running tg-construct with <code>--ignore-landmass</code>, all input shapefiles will be taken into consideration, so no landmass mask is required then.
 ; Land use data:  Defines whether a piece of land is forest, urban, sand, lava, glacier etc. These are usually VMAP0 data, defined as polygons.
-; Line data:  Includes railroads, streams, roads. Typically VMAP0, but also Open Street Map for roads.
+; Line data:  Includes railroads, streams, roads. Typically VMAP0, but also OpenStreetMap for roads.
 ; Point data:  Is currently only used for defining towns.
 By far the easiest way to get this data is to download shapefiles from the wonderful [http://mapserver.flightgear.org MapServer]. The MapServer lets you download the shapefiles for any selected scenery area. Click on the "Download Shapefiles" link (or go direct: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/download.psp). Enter in the bounding box of the scenery you want to generate, select the type of shapefile data you want, and click download.
