That's funny Grant - I always thought that the zoomed-out tiles updated first, and that it took ages for the detailed tiles to update :-) I'm sure it was that way a couple of years ago - has the processing order changed? Or am I mistaken?
Did you force them by simply appending a /dirty to the tile URL? e.g. http://b.tile.openstreetmap.org/10/574/615.png/dirty (this seemed to work, by the way - on the above tile that did not yet contain the "mossel bay" wording before I forced re-rendering) So, it seems this is just a delay in re-rendering. For the benefit of other list members, the trick to force a re-render is then: * On the slippy map in the browser, right-click on the spot and "copy image url" or "view background image" or whatever your browser says. * It'll return a URL like http://b.tile.openstreetmap.org/10/574/615.png (single tile) * Append /dirty to submit for re-rendering (and others like /status to see when it was last updated etc) -- Dawid Loubser <da...@travellinck.com> Op Ma, 2013-11-04 om 11:05 +0000 skryf Grant Slater: > Hi Norman, > > The data looks good.
