Some of the Land Use items I have added to OSM using don't appear to be showing on the map several days later - example here http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.47411/-2.81320 where the man_made storage tanks are not showing. What am I not doing please? Robin asked 10 Apr '15, 10:39  FollowMeChaps edited 10 Apr '15, 13:41  aseerel4c26 ♦ |

The OpenStreetMap style is hosted on GitHub, you can see exactly what is, and isn't, displayed there. It looks like You're lucky though, answered 10 Apr '15, 13:42  rorym |
I'm sure the man_made=storage_tank tag was being displayed on the standard map until recently. All my tanks have disappeared too. Probably just the whim of one of the devs I suppose. answered 10 Apr '15, 12:59  nevw edited 10 Apr '15, 14:01 3 Computer says no. I couldn't find a commit removing man_made=storage_tank either. Are you sure they have been rendered in the past? Maybe due to an additional tag (I'm not suggesting to add one :))? (10 Apr '15, 13:05) scai ♦ I use an old variant of openstreetmap-carto (from mid last year) and it doesn't render them either, so if there was a change that caused these not to show, if was before then. Maybe some other storage tanks on the map had a building tag on them?

Many thanks for the quick responses. Explains why I can't see them though I don't understand the logic and the GitHub and carto style is all gobbledygook to me - may as well be written in another language! Robin
