As David wrote, you need to view the individual tiles and add dirty to the end: eg if the image is http://c.tile.cloudmade.com/fd093e52f0965d46bb1c6c6281022199/3/256/15/30078/19646.png You do this: http://c.tile.cloudmade.com/fd093e52f0965d46bb1c6c6281022199/3/256/15/30078/19646.png/dirty but that's a complete pain in the butt to do, especially if you have to force a lot of tiles to be re-drawn ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Cloudmade seem to cache very heavily and while they seem to have more up to date data, you have to force a refresh to see it. BTC tiles should be up to date, the should be expiring based on the minutely changesets now, but browsers may be caching the tiles. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
