I see stupid similar things on Garmin map without any special intersection eg Smith Road ahead when I know perfectly well I'm travelling on Smith Road already. It's not a helpful piece of information, and I think is more likely on a dual carriageway . ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Error with Grose Rd Faulconbridge NSW
Hi All, I edited this road a few days ago and it doesn't seem to have worked correctly. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.687934lon=150.548708zoom=18layers=B000FTFT Is there a problem with what I did or do I need to just wait a bit longer?

2010/1/4 Michael Hampson mc.hamp...@gmail.com: Is there a problem with what I did or do I need to just wait a bit longer? There is nothing wrong with what you did, however the code to refresh the cache only works on nodes, and if there is no node on a tile it won't expire the tile, you can force a tile to be redrawn by right clicking on the tile and view image, then add /dirty to the end of the URL. Then it's just a case of forcing your local image to refresh, hitting the back button and then hitting ctrl+shift+refresh usually works... ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Thanks, I think you either wait longer or add a /dirty tag to the end of the url.
