Hi Adrian,

It rather depends on where they are getting their map tiles from, and how often 
those are updated. Users are really supposed to generate their own.

Here at traveline south east 
(www.travelinesoutheast.org.uk<http://www.travelinesoutheast.org.uk>), for 
example, we have two different sets of tiles, representing different zoom 
levels and delivered from different servers. At our default level you get 
presented with a map tile which is only updated annually. There is a very good 
argument to say that the default should be more often, but I digress. For 
Calverley Park Gardens, it shows the old road designation right now. The two 
levels of zoom below that are delivered from a tile server that is updated 
overnight and re-tiled on the fly. So if you zoom in then you see your edit.

Personally, I would rather re-tile it all. However, as you zoom out you get 
fewer tiles, but there is more data to crunch to produce them - and that can 
leave us not only taking a while to produce the tiles, but also the time to 
then transfer large batches of data to the servers. So we made a design 
decision to do it the way we have.

I’m sure that you will find that Kent Traffic has similar policies. But to know 
what they are, you would have to ask them.

Regards,
Stuart

I made a change to openstreetmap.org<http://openstreetmap.org/> last month, to 
correct Calverley Park Gardens in Tunbridge Wells to be the B2249 (previously 
showing as the A264).  Whilst this appears on the map when I open it, when I 
look at other maps based  on openstreets, such as http://www.kenttraffic.info/, 
it's still showing the old information.

When will that map get changed?
