Is this the BTC noname layer or the Cloudmade noname layer? It's the Cloudmade layer. Even with a cache refresh it's still months out of date in the area I'm interested in.

As David wrote, you need to view the individual tiles and add dirty to the end: eg if the image is http://c.tile.cloudmade.com/fd093e52f0965d46bb1c6c6281022199/3/256/15/30078/19646.png You do this: http://c.tile.cloudmade.com/fd093e52f0965d46bb1c6c6281022199/3/256/15/30078/19646.png/dirty but that's a complete pain in the butt to do, especially if you have to force a lot of tiles to be re-drawn ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Queensland parks, forests and conservation areas
Hi all, I've been looking at http://data.australia.gov.au/127, which contains all the national parks, state forest, conservation areas and so on in Queensland. If no-one else had been doing anything with this, I'd been thinking about adding it to OSM. Current practice seems to be tagging them all as boundary=national_park, regardless of whether they're National Parks or other things like State Forests. Would adding national_park=state_forest and similar to the tags be a good idea? There's also a bunch of things like resource reserves and timber reserves inside the parks, any good suggestions about how to tag those? This would obviously be a manual piece-by-piece upload, since it would need merging with existing data there's interesting things like river/road names we can pull out (because it has the road reserves marked). A converted file with most of the attributes cleaned up is at http://www.sunsetutopia.com/qld_parks.osm.bz2 if anyone wants to look, but it still needs a lot of merging of polygons and the like -- James ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
