I have been adding cross country cycle routes and improving road alignments. The data is visible and can be edited so it must have been saved, but when I download the data as Shapefiles, not all the data is being downloaded. Any obvious reason why?

See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shapefile#Obtaining_shapefiles_from_OSM_data for services generating shapefiles. Maybe one of those suits your needs. |
Where did you get your shapefiles from?
CloudMade Downloads and also another site that I cannot recall at the moment. Both sets had exactly the same elements missing.
According to CloudMade the files are from 13 December 2011.
Then that is the answer! Can you direct me to a site that updates more frequently. Currently, I am only interested in data for Wales.
Geofabrik provides periodically updated shapefiles, although I have no experience with them.
I am very new to OSM but am an experienced GIS user. From your answer I have worked out that people who make Shapefiles do not update every day and therefore I would be better downloading the 'raw' files which presumably are the database that we all update? I appreciate your help - is voting for recognising help given and if so, how do I vote if there isn't a published answer?
