I know it has been stated in the past that findNearby basically won't work with Rivers since there isn't a line or a polygon representation like there is for Oceans. I've stumbled on this need a few times, and again recently.

Is this something that might be possible to add? Presumably at least a rough line representation of rivers is available somewhere - even if it is +- 10K or something. Seems like it is a somewhat common need.

Thoughts in the community? Happy to chip help if there is work to do.
