I tried to find a list of objects/properties which get updated (or which get ignored) by OSM Live updates, but I couldn't find anything. Does anybody know / can point me to such a list?

Specifically, I edited a highway type and added "turn:lanes" property. The highway type got updated (easy to verify), but the turn:lanes either were not updated or are having no effect. I'd like to know what is supposed to get updated using OSM Live, so that I know if I should report a bug or not (instead of waiting a month, just to be sure that the changes have propagated).

Thanks.

Offline routing is disabled to update but you could turn it on. All the known bugs are reported on github but I think this is just disabled in the Settings. It might be in Development Settings.

Sorry, I didn't specify that. I had enabled routing for Live updates in Development Settings. But still, the "turn:lanes" property I added is not visible when I drive through that intersection. So I wonder whether these properties are included in the Live updates, or not. (Or, more generally, what is and what is not included in Live updates, so that I don't need to ask this question again for a different property in the future).

I think it does, but it's a little on the buggy side (as experienced after updating turn lanes on Riverside Parkway in Tulsa, the "live" updates were trying to navigate as if it was 9 lanes on a side near 71st instead of 4 lanes!)

So, over the weekend I drove through the route I improved last week and it showed none of the turn:lanes improvements I did (as far as I can remember). So at least in my case, it seems that turn:lanes are not part of Live updates at all.

I was looking for a place to report this (turn:lanes not respected as a relevant 'live update') as a formal bug, but I have no idea where I'd do it. I found this thread on a keyword search.

I don't think https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand is the appropriate place, because the code which *generates* the osmand live maps has nothing to do with the client code. Is that the place to do it/is there a better one to do so? I don't know where to report bugs *involving the generation of the live maps themselves*.
