I made a change to a street name (changeset 117110427) about 3 hours ago. It is showing completed, but the change has not updated on the map It said when I submitted the change it can take a few minutes...how long should I expect the change to take? Thank you for your help! |

Hi Andy, your changes ("Brierley Close" -> "Briery Close") are visible to me! The map displayed at https://www.openstreetmap.org updates according to its own schedule. Usually it's pretty fast, sometimes it can take a while. Don't fret -- the important thing is to get the correct data into the database! Of course it's great to see the rendered map change, and it's a good way to double-check your work. Two tips:
Good luck & happy mapping! That's great. Thank you for your help!

That zoom level aspect is such a mystery to me. I guess it all has to do with rendering tiles. Is that correct?

@EricJRW - in this case yes. The map at each zoom level of the maps at openstreetmap.org is made up of small tiles that are an individual file hosted on a website and recreated when things change. https://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/17/64784/43019.png and https://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/18/129568/86039.png are examples of those, and the "17" and "18" respectively is the zoom level each case. Each tile is created from the same map data, but a higher zoom level tile might show more information.

I have also noticed this update lag on some zoom levels. Is it possible too see what zoom level is displayed?

@Msiipola - in a browser you can tell from the "#map=" part of the URL, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/36.7208/-4.4289 is zoom level 15.
