[Openstreetmap] Uploads

[Andy Robinson]

The simplest way to be sure that your edits made it to the database is to
download the nodes and segments from the server in a fresh instance of JOSM.
If you see your nodes and segments in JOSM then they made it to the database
and the reason they are not being seen in the online viewer is most likely
due to the 48 hour cache refresh delay for the particular map tile(s) in
question. 

In Firefox you can right click a tile and then "View Image" which will show
you the individual tile, then by hitting CTRL+R you can refresh that
specific tile to ensure you are viewing the most up to date version that the
server cache has. Note though when you do this, after returning to the full
map with the browser back button you will find that the original zoom level
is loaded. To get round this I change the zoom level manually in the address
line rather than using the +/- buttons in the viewer.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Andy
