Re: [OSM-talk] Facebook map frequency of updates?
DaveF, FB is working on the problem. They hope to be able to speed up the process which as I understand from a SOTM-US talk involved finding vandalism and other garbage edits. It will be a few months before the update their maps then they expect to refresh more often.

Re: [OSM-talk] Facebook map frequency of updates?
Dave, I believe someone from the Facebook engineering team gave a presentation at the recent SotMs on this: https://2019.stateofthemap.org/sessions/3WQKAX/ & https://2019.stateofthemap.us/program/sun/keepin-it-fresh-and-good-continuous-ingestion-of-osm-data-at-facebook.html - the videos are up. If I recall correctly, Facebook started with a planet dump something like 2 years ago, then struggled to update, and have only in the last half year started catching up, but they are not caught up in all areas yet. I believe their aim was to finish catching up in 2020. Watch the videos for details, as I may be misremembering something. -Kathleen On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 11:13 AM Dave F via talk wrote: > Hi > > An owner of an art centre in the UK has contacted me to ask why the 10 > month old edits to the centre's building haven't appeared in Facebook. > Looking around it appears the render FB are using is more than 12 months > old.
