[talk-au] Help - Node relocation

[osm.talk-au at thorsten.engler.id.au]

The edit mode shows the data as it exists in the database at that moment. So if the node disappears when you go into edit mode, then everything is correct in the database and you don’t need to do anything there anymore.

 

The map view outside the editor is not updated in realtime, it can take various amounts of time (from seconds to days, depending on zoom level and how busy the render servers are) for the new tile to get rendered.

 

In your case I assume the problem is actually that your browser or something else between your eyes and the render server is still caching the old tile.

 

You can try Cltr+F5 (repeat 2-3 times if necessary) to force your browser to update it’s cache and see if that helps.

Thank you for such a quick response :)

 

When I go into Edit mode the old node that needs to be removed isn't displaying, but when I am not in edit mode I can see it?

Am I using the wrong method of editing it?

Or do I need to do something else?

 

TIA, Lisa

(a question)

Hi Lisa:  I'm assuming you are using the iD editor.  It seems you know the difference between the new node being correct and the old node "needing to go," you can click on a node and delete it like this:

Select the node with a single click,
Press and hold until a pop-right menu toggles off (usually to the right, might be to the left), let go of the mouse button,
Slide your finger pointer down to the bottom icon, the trash can icon, and when hovered over it, click.

You just deleted the node.

Happy mapping!
