Hi Marian,
When you upload data using JOSM it gets added to the database straight away, but the tiles you see in Openstreetmap aren’t instantly redrawn. The default mapnik layer gets updated weekly on about Wednesday. The one you’d best look at for quicker rerendering is the Osmarender layer, but even this isn’t updated instantly. I believe it picks up all changes at intervals of every couple of hours and adds the changed areas to a request queue for re-rendering. Clients running [EMAIL PROTECTED] service the requests in the queue and rerender the tiles uploading the results. How quick each tile gets rerendered depends therefore on both the complexity of the area and the speed of the client doing the rendering. Some (hopefully) useful links: http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Request/show/ - this shows the current rerender queue. The changed tiles I think are added at priority 2, so above all the missing tiles requests shown at priority 4. http://www.informationfreeway.org/ - if you zoom to the area you have changed at information freeway at zoom level 12, you can press r to add the area to the rerender queue at the previous link quicker than waiting for it to be picked up by the scheduled check. It’s best not to do this too often though. I tend to do it when I’ve done quite a lot of changes, and know I’ve finished for the day and just want to check the results. There is a similar facility here: http://server.tah.openstreetmap.org/Browse/slippy/ More details are necessary to diagnose why your gps trace won’t upload, but the format you need is gpx format, including time stamp information. I hope this helps There is more information about how to view the Osmarender layer, and how it is generated here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tiles%40home Ed From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marian Borgwardt Sent: 06 October 2008 11:22 To: [email protected] Subject: [OSM-newbies] Upload-Data Hello, i am an absolutely newbie. My first question is how to upload data to OSM. I collected date and imported them to JOSM, then I downloaded the existing date from OSM-Server and drawed the nodes. Now I tried to upload the data to OSM server, but nothing happened since nearly 2 hours. I also can’t upload my gps trace to OSM with the web-interface, it returns an error. My trace isn’t in correct format. How long I have to wait until the data is integrated in OSM database when I use JOSM or how can I put the traces in correct format to upload on OSM? Sincerely yours Marian Borgwardt
