Re: [OSM-Talk-ZA] How to display paths on all layers?

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. Tags affecting paths could be things like sac_scale=* or trail_visibility=*, or a layer could decide to render
