Tiles that cover larger areas take substantially longer, weeks. For example if you add a building, it should appear quickly. You may have to clear the browser cache. If you add a large feature, such as glaciers, you might wait a long time before the renderer get around to updating it. Work was just done recently updating the renderer which may delay it somewhat, but I haven't noticed any issues. BTW - to see what is mapped, check the Map Data to see what is there. Map Data is found on layers. It easier than going to Geofrabrik. Good luck, Clifford -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
