There are more cache levels then your browser. You have to wait a couple of minutes before the osm caches gets refreshed.

I see a flaw in your setup that might be the cause of a lot of the differences. Mapnik is not very determenistic and small variance in the input data such as order of elements etc. can make a big difference in the rendered map. You are using a relativly newly imported database for the carto rendering and a very old database for the osm rendering. For a propper comparason you should use the same database for both maps.

However the differences that are now are not important at all and I think the carto style is a lot closer to the original mapnik style then necessary.

I would love to see some new development on the osm style.

That could turn out good. I would love to see it in action though. Do you have a link to the patch?

There are 1113 McDonalds resturants and 34 Payday loans in the dataset.

Great work. Next version have to include OSRM and TileMill and maybe a version of the rails port for completeness as well. Maybe I will start developing on that image in the future.

Eg har no gjort eit par områder sør for Søm, det er ein del byggeaktivitet som er synlig så det er ikkje så lett å teikne opp alt. Flott arbeid.

Wow, that looks great. You have gotten a lot of information that is impossible to get with satelite imagery. It will not be long untill Kristiansand is better mapped then it was before.

Great work.

Yes, I did map a lot of Vågsbygd from Bing. However there were some construction on the imagery that I do not know how it looks now. And there is all names, waytypes (I tried guessing most of them), restrictions and speed limits.

There are no other sources of data in Norway except Bing imagery and surveying.

Kristiansand was hit quite bad by the redaction bot. The most active contributor in the area did not accept the new contributor terms. We are coordinating the remapping at http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/10 Kristiansand have good imagery from bing but we need people on the ground.

There is also a mailing list for the norwegian comunity at http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/kart And there is always people on irc.osm.org in the #osm-no channel.

Good luck, Gnonthgol
