[OSM-newbies] information request

[Philip Kloppers]

Hi Patrick,

Welcome to OSM, I haven't been around all that long either, but am 
thoroughly enjoying OSM and all that it is capable of!

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chip in with the relevant 
links, but as far as I remember form previous posts to the group, the 
web interface does not update coastlines immediately. This means that 
the data is correct, but the rendering is still displaying the old data. 
If I remember correctly, this is updated weekly.

You can also enable the data layer when viewing the map online and that 
should reflect the changes you have made.

Kind regards,

Philip
