I edited the roads in my neighborhood on June 4 and still don't see the update on the main map. This is unfortunate because I can't use the map for emergency planning until the roads are correct and I have to use the map today during a webinar. Why do the edits take so long to show? When I use the editor, my updated map is there, just it hasn't been updated on the main map and it has been almost a week.

Updating Residential Map for Use with Depiction Mapping and Data
Posted by BrettKP on 4 June 2010 in English.I am using a new program called Depiction at http://www.depiction.com/ to help manage emergency resources in my area as part of the U.S. CERT community emergency preparedness program and neighborhood watch. They use OpenStreetMap data as their source of road maps, but I was surprised to find my neighborhood streets were misaligned and some streets were missing. This makes the program unsuitable for our area. As I have access to maps for my neighborhood watch groups, I added the missing streets and correctly aligned our streets with the Yahoo satellite image. Hopefully, this will allow better use as the map is updated.
