Way not rendering.

0

About seven days ago I tagged as an example Whiting Bay, way (2008834918) as natural Bay, but this as not rendered, there are more tagged the same with no rendering I clicked twice to create the node! perhaps I am doing this completely wrong, any help would be welcome, thanks.

"Way" 2008834918 is not a way, but a node: https://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2008834918

You have entered "Natural = Bay", but renderers might be case sensitive and all tags should be lowercase.

HI gnurk, It seems I used upper and lower case here, but another node 2009231601 was tagged in lowercase and that as not rendered so the problem persists!

I changed to natural=bay (not upper case) and now it renders. You may need to refresh the cache in your browser to see it (e.g. Ctrl-F5). Like all rendered items, it only displays at some zoom levels.

For your second example (Coverack Cove, node 2009231601), you had an extra space after the natural key. This is not very obvious in Potlatch, or on the browse option on the website. I've now fixed that, and it is rendered on the map.

There is even a ticket for this "bug", but unfixed so far.
