How long does it usually take for edits to show up in apps?
Hi all :)
This is more of a curiosity question than anything else.
About two or three weeks ago, I added two buildings and the businesses inside them through the OSM website. I haven't had a chance to do anything else yet.
I installed Organic Maps earlier to try it out, but noticed that my buildings weren't there. I tried OSMAnd+ and Street Complete too, but they still weren't there. They are there in Every Door though.
Is this normal? Does it take a while for updates to filter through to apps, or have I done something wrong?
Depends on when the app pulls from OSM. Organic Maps and OSMAnd are monthlyz, if you have OSMAnd plus or are a contributor to OSM it's hourly I think
Ah, ok, that makes sense, thanks :)
Each map app takes time to sync. On OSMAnd you can refresh the live updates and perhaps the changes will appear. I find modifications to be near-immediate.
Thanks :)
I think the longest apps are monthly so after that most or all should have them.
Thanks :)
