Re: [OSM-Talk-ZA] How to display paths on all layers?
Paths are appearing in some layers, but not others, so assume that means it cannot be a caching problem. And they were added 2 weeks ago. I compared the tags of some existing paths that are visible in all layers vs what I was using. My tags were *exactly *the same. Must be something other than tags inhibiting visibility. ___ Tony Heher +27 82 654 5582 On Mon, May 31, 2021 at 2:41 PM Glen Wilson <1tinsh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Assuming this is not a caching problem as described in an earlier thread, > it's possible the other paths in your comparison have different tags that > those the layer will choose to include.

Re: [OSM-Talk-ZA] How to display paths on all layers?
I have published a number of tracks and they are visible on the Standard and CylOSM layers, but not on any other layers. But many other tracks and paths are visible on all layers. What does one have to do to make them visible? The Cycle Map is the "nicest" from a hiking point of view as the contours are clearer. The Standard map is not useful at all as it has no contours. ___ Tony Heher +27 82 654 5582 On Sat, May 29, 2021 at 12:50 PM Tony Heher wrote: > Thanks, now obvious!

[OSM-Talk-ZA] Query re publishing tracks
I have been using OSM for some time but am new to adding tracks. Is this the right forum to ask a question? I have uploaded tracks and received an email confirming that they have been accepted and published. However, they do not appear on the map if I click *View Map.* [image: image.png] But if I click *Edit Map*, they are there. Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong? *Background*: This is part of the Mountain Meanders <https://sites.google.com/view/mountain-meanders-new/Home> wiki which is documenting around 200 climbing and scrambling routes in the Western Cape. ___ Tony Heher +27 82 654 5582 ___ Talk-ZA mailing list Talk-ZA@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-za
