How often do you update the maps? I was under the impression that your maps where updated monthly. I to have done a lot off additions added to the OSM data and looking forward to seeing my contributions.

Usually the maps are updated weekly. But I was on vacation last week, so the current version is available for three weeks (I could not produce a new update in the time between when the planet dump became available and when I left).

Your mainpage indicates "Based on OpenStreetMap data from: 10-02-2010." I been eagerly coming back almost daily to see if the maps are updated. I was under the impression that there's been no updates since the 10 of Feb.

I just had a look and noticed that the info on your homepage still says Based on OpenStreetMap data from: 10-02-2010. I decided to download a map. and when I had chosen the Australian map download it says last updated on the 4 of March, yesterday. I got a bit excited and quickly downloaded the map. Just installed onto my Mac using Roadtrip and it looks to still be based of a map from early February. Even tracks I put in a few weeks ago are not on the maps.

I'm a bit confused now. Why does the download from today say it's updated yesterday, whereby the map is still the same as a map I downloaded a month ago. Am I doing something wrong?

The timestamp as given on the homepage is what matters if you want to see new data in the maps. The actual build date of a map is not of importance.

A new update is running as we speak, I guess it's going to be available somewhere Saturday or Sunday. Just keep an eye on the timestamp on the homepage.
