I have added some new items to Cork Airport (Ireland) but they don't seem to show up on the map.

For example I added a Taxi Stand using the normal in-browser edit mode, but in View mode it's not showing.

I also added some toilets and a restaurant name "Quiznos", but these are not showing up in the Android app I wrote which use OSM Maps. I have checked in all the views (including MapNik)

What is the best way to add items to a map for them to be shown on all platforms?

The different map styles show different data at different zoom levels, and have different update schedules to re-render tiles for new data. As of now, I am seeing the Quiznos and bathrooms on the "Standard" map: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.84919/-8.48977

Thanks a million for your reply. What is confusing me is that the Standard Mapnik (either in the browser or the Android app which uses the map) is not showing the Taxi Stand I had put in, this was in before the others.

Does the fact that the Taxi Stand doesn't have any Icon make a difference? I would have thought that a Taxi Stand would be a priority POI.

So, do the items appear at varying zoom levels after a certain length of time?

Hmm, looks like the Standard map might not show Taxi Stands. I do see it on the Humanitarian map. Regarding the Standard map, if you want to confirm that it's not rendered, request it be added, and/or submit code for this change, you can go to openstreetmap-carto on github: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto

Just had a look at the Humanitarian may and it seems to have everything I added. Maybe I'll just use that instead of MapNik, or in my Android app I could give people a choice.
