Ok. I had read that it is not updated right away, but I didn't know it took a week. I assumed it would be done daily. >2.

I am at that page and I see a thermometer type zoom control. Are the levels 1 based starting from the bottom? It looks like you can zoom in with 18 levels. Opps, I see it down in the lower right corner. It looks like the zoom number is 0 based. It can be hard to tell where the new data has been added since there is little data in the immediate area. I'll take a stab at it. >However, there have been some problems with tiles at home since the big >changeover - some clients seem to be using old versions of the software, >taking the tiles to render, and returning nothing - and it is a bit hit >and miss right now; you will also get no warning if it hasn't worked.

It looks like all of the tracks I have uploaded are there. They seem to show as dots. I also see some much lighter dots with light lines joining them. Are these light lines and dots the way that I created? My main concern is determining if I have added information to the way in the correct manner. I did not find clear info on how to do that so I am not sure I did it correctly. Thanks for the help. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
