[talk-au] Why aren't my maps rendered? (yes I have read the FAQ!)

[Steve]

Thanks 80n,

I am pretty sure I've tagged everything (highway=primary
highway=secondary, residential, etc..). Also, I extended Canberra Ave
(originally someone else's fine effort) and my additions inherited the
original way's attributes. The original section comes up fine. My bits
are still missing. I will however go and double-check my tagging
everywhere.

I take your point about the tiles at home being down due to an update. I'll
also have a look at OSMRender. Didn't know it can run locally.

Thanks very much for your advice.

Steve.
