Newbie question: How do I see a point I just added?

Help and support
1

I just joined recently and one of my first changes was to add a bench to a trail. The changeset # is 164789146. It has been 24 hours and I do not see it appear on the map, nor on apps like OSMAnd. Did I do something wrong? Or I need to wait longer?

Thanks

Your edit is correct. :+1:
I can already see the bench on the map.

It is probably due to your browser cache:

Hit Ctrl+⇧ Shift+R, it should work. It works for me after around 2 minutes.

Thank you so much. I see it now.

Osmand updates once per month.

Hourly if you’re an active contributor and link your OSM account to it (by “active” I mean… 30 edits (yes edits, not changesets) in 2 months)

You can turn on “Live Updates” in Maps & Resources > Updates to get a update every hour.
