message: 476 km² + 61 km² + 63 km² = 571 km²? Strange math!
According to http://www.bodenseekonferenz.org/21885/Service/DieRegion/index.aspx size is 473 km² (main) + 63 km² (Untersee) = 536 km². Überlinger See is only another name for the north-western part of the main lake.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.19.88.254 (talk) 09:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

message: A map that shows the broad outline of Germany, Austria and Switzerland and how L. Constance lies in that niche.  The maps here are nice for seeing the details of the lake and towns on it, but you don't get a feel for the lake in terms of the 3 countries and location within Europe itself.  Basically something similar to the map on the page for Konstanz (town of Constance), but showing all three countries at size, not just Germany.  I would add one, but I don't know how.  BTW, it seems in general that wikipedia is weak on maps.   TCO (talk) 17:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

message: What is the historical reason of calling it the Bodensee? "Bottom lake", "floor/ground lake", or at the bottom of the Rhine River or what? Anyone know?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.84.82.56 (talk) 06:06, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

message: On google maps there are borders. Google doesn't show some kind of condominium. Did they simply draw these borders themselves or are there any further agreements concerning the borders? Johnny2323 (talk) 20:59, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think google just draw the borders themselves or a software from google did it itself. The borders were definitely wrong in the past. At the moment, there are no borders on the lake in google maps, which is much less confusing than before. However, there are no acknowledged borders on the Obersee. You can see the borders in these two images: overview and more detailed.--Markus Bodensee (talk) 00:07, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Google maps 

message: It says lake Constance covers 536 km^2, and is on average 90 m deep. This would make its volume 536*0.09 = 48 km^3. But the article says 10^10 m^3 (= 10 km^3).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.160.8.189 (talk) 13:19, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lake volume inconsistency 

message: Is the quote "Lake Constance is the only area in Europe where no borders exist, because there is no legally binding agreement as to where the borders lie between Switzerland, Germany and Austria" factually correct - it would seem to contradict the information given in the Republic_of_Ireland–United_Kingdom_border#Waters_around_Northern_Ireland article regarding unresolved UK/Republic of Ireland borders.

message: In the article it says the Untersee was called Lacus Acronius and the Obersee was called Lacus Venetus, but in the 1540 map that is shown (and other historic maps I can find), it has it the other way around. --Lasunncty (talk) 11:18, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

message: I agree that "Austria map only shows a tiny corner of the lake, which is shared between multiple countries". The point of the pushpinmap is to help orient people unfamiliar with the location to have a better idea where it may be and even with a partial display it serves that point, but it can be better and it should be. Could you suggest a better pushpin map to use, else it will go into the queue of needs better pushpin map than country level. CheersWolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who?

replies: text: From a functional orientation it looks good as a way to orient someone to the location. From a consistency (more broadly something needing to be evaluated and discussed across pushpin map styles within and across all lake articles) it is a bit odd to have a border only map for Central Europe and styled map with terrain for Europe as a whole. Thanks, that is a fix for now. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 03:43, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I can't figure out why it's doing that. According to the Module:Location map/data/Europe the blank border map should be the first one loaded and the relief map is secondary.Tobyc75 (talk) 18:47, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

message: I edited "waterbodies" to be "bodies of water" and it was reverted with the note that "waterbodies is a perfectly valid English word." I'm a native English speaker, and I've never heard it. Just in case, I checked all the online English dictionaries and couldn't find it. I don't want to get into an edit war over something so silly, so I'm putting this note here instead. --Sam (talk) 00:04, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
