Thanks...will wait a bit and asked to render to see if changes are seen!

Changes are still not happening :-( I still see them in "change" mode but not on a live map!

You can trigger a rerender of the map tiles you expect your work to appear on, see http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/1049/how-to-trigger-a-repaint-for-a-specific-osm-map-tile

In short:


  • right click in the map
  • depending on your browser, select a menu item like "open image in new tab"
  • switch to the new tab
  • append "/dirty" to the URL in the URL input field of your brower and press ENTER. The browser displays the text "Tile submitted for rendering"
  • wait 10-30s, click on the BACK button in your browser and then on REFRESH. The tile should now show your changes.

btw, note that the map is not the main goal of OSM, the map is only to show what data is present in OSM. It can be handy to check if you've done things wrong on (e.g. way not showing because a type error in the word "highway"). But the map is not the main goal.

I took a look at one of your changes:
osm.org/browse/way/82513446

There's no highway tag:
You need to add (e.g.) highway=residential
Without this nothing (or only the name) will be visible on the map.

There's a wrong tag: undefinded=paved
I'm sure you meant something like surface=paved
But that doesn't change rendering at the main map (Mapnik/Osmarender)

I haven't checked any other changes made by you.
I wish you good luck in correcting these errors.

Have fun :-)

One very importing thing:

Your way osm.org/browse/way/82513446 is on top of another way: osm.org/browse/way/56336937

It isn't a good solution to have a way on top of another one. Delete the wrong way and/or split the original way in two parts to give each part a different name. To split a way in Potlach (the editor in your web browser) first select the way then select the node then press x
