Delay in updating road data

[Lennart Romberg]

In mid-December I noticed that osmand showed wrong speed limits on a route I drove. They were obsolete in OSM so I updated them but when driving the same route today, 2 months later, the app still shows the old speed limits. I assumed they would be refreshed a lot faster.

I also added some new roundabouts in OSM. They have shown up in the osmand online tiles but the driving directions doesn't say anything about a roundabout (like "take this or that exit").

So what update frequency to expect? Any relation between the rendered map and the data (like speed limits) or driving directions? Anything I need to do actively to refresh the data?

Raw map data is downloaded the first of the month. Then the map creation process starts.

This means that the data should already be in the January but certainly in the February maps. I assume you downloaded these Feb maps but you don't mention that.

I haven't downloaded any maps. I use online tiles, so I assumed no need to download.

Osmand is an offline navigation app, so what do you mean with "I use online tiles".  I know you can use online tiles for viewing, but I did not know you could use them for navigating.

So which tiles are you using?

And why? The downloaded vector maps are about 10-20% in size compared to using online tiles. That has quite some impact on your wifi and especially on your mobile bandwidth if you use that.

Aha, that explains things. I selected map source = OsmAnd online tiles, assuming that I would get all latest stuff (for viewing and navigating) without need for manually downloading anything (paying the price of frequent dynamic downloads whenever needed) but seems I was wrong.

So I need to periodically download the areas I'm navigating in, right?

Mr Romberg should look under the OSMAnd menu in the "Download maps"
entry, "local" tab.

I suspect he will find that at some point he has downloaded a map, and
that the 'last change' date shown likely predates his speed limit
changes.

If this is so, then the "updates" tab in the same view will also likely
offer to update the downloaded maps, and if he does that update I
suspect his speed limit fixes will appear for the roads that he has
changed.
