OpenStreetMap
Hey,
2 weeks ago I added some roads in my hometown in Baasrode, Belgium in Openstreetmap. You can see them now on streetmap.. But I don't see them in the opencyclemap... I had read that changes is streetmap automatically also are made in the cyclemap, is this true? Or what else do I have to do?
thanks!

It updates fairly infrequently. I don't know if there's a regular cycle, but something like every 2-3 weeks is typical I think.

The owner of the Cyclemap doesn't have enough resources to update the world map every few minutes, so he does it every couple of weeks.
Perhaps the Cyclemap should try to get sponsorship from bike manufacturers or the Tour De France.

Ok, thanks. I'm curious to see my changes in the cyclemap!

You can also force an image to be rendered. Right click on the part of the map that you want to get re-rendered, select "view image" (bekijk afbeelding), than in the url looks like blablabla.png, you can append /status to it, so the url is blablabla.png/status, to see if it will be rendered soon. If it wont, you can add /dirty (blablabla.png/dirty) to mark the tile for rendering. If you look again at the status, you should see that it will be rendered soon. Depending on the hardware, this can be one minute (for the main OSM servers) or one day or more (for slower servers like the cyclemap).

that "forcing" the update makes very little difference, you know. The tiles that need updating (which are figured out when the database is updated) are already marked as needing updating on disk, so just viewing them has the same effect as forcing a refresh like that. Neither method makes my server run any faster though!

Thanks for creating OpenCycleMap. Take care.
