Added Street Lights not on any map layer since December?

Help and support
#1

Hi,

was there an update cycle for street lights and other lower priority items?

I added streetlights here [0] and in other locations. I did this months ago and so far they are not visible as icons on any map layer.

Is that typical?

I added streetlights before and those become visible a few days later.

I seem to remember that they were taken out in a Carto “upgrade” a while back?

You can, however, see them here: Street Lamps in OSM

highway=street_lamp is not rendered by OpenStreetMap Carto. Reviewing the issue history and git commits finds no evidence it ever was.

A street lamp might also be a power=pole, which is rendered, so perhaps this is what you are thinking of.

My apologies to Carto then, as I seemed to remember that they were - I may be thinking of them appearing in iD while mapping?

Hi,

I do not know “Carto”. I just check the H map layer and the lights I added are here for example

And at one point the newer additions were not updated anymore.
So is this related to what you are talking about?

Best regards,

Andreas

Hallo Andreas,

selbstverständlich kennst Du “Carto” :slight_smile: , auch wenn Dir das nicht bewusst ist. Das ist die Standardansicht auf openstreetmap.org.

Der H-Layer ist der Humanitarian-Layer und sollte laut der Tile-Server-Übersicht Raster tile providers - OpenStreetMap Wiki mindestens tagesaktuell sein. Die Lampen werden - soweit ich das sehe - ab Zoom-Level 19 angezeigt.

Es kann gut sein, dass diese Kacheln aus dem Browsercache geladen werden. Versuche mit Strg + F5 ein neues Laden vom Server zu erzwingen. Dabei werden die betroffenen Kacheln neu gerendert.

Beste Grüße
Vinzenz
