Thanks Grant I did not realise it took so long. I think it's be over a week since I added the town name for Mossel Bay. After your refresh I am still getting some of the zoomed out tiles not having the name. I presume it will still take a awhile for the tiles to be propagated. I see you added the population (60,000). Where does one get that type of info? I would also like to add the sagns_id as well.
