[OSM-newbies] Tile representing center of Shanghai never getsrendered.

[Keith Ng]

Hi Piet,

You can go to informationfreeway.org and start by looking at your area at
z12. Keep your mouse still and use the scroll wheel to zoom out to z8. That
will be the z8 tile, roughly. If it's not right, just move it to a tile next
to it (in some direction). Right click on that tile (that you confirmed) and
and click "View Image" (if you use Firefox), or "Properties" (if you use
IE).

Look at the location (URL) of the image tile. It will be something like
this:
http://osm.terantula.com/Tiles/tile.php/8/199/124.png
8 indicates the zoom level,  x=199, y=124

Alternatively, I have done it for you:
http://osm-tah-cache.firefishy.com/~ojw/Tiles/tile.php/8/214/104.png
x=214, y=104

And when I zoom to z8, there are data there so I presume someone requested
rendering of that area before. You could request it to be re-rendered using:
http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~ojw/NeedRender/?x=214&y=104&priority=1&z=8
(which I have done for you)

You can check the rendering status at:
http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~ojw/Log/Requests/test.php?x=214&y=104&z=8

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Keith
