I added some data on local shops in OrganicMaps and StreetComplete. My changes are visible in OSM online but my (just downloaded) maps in CoMaps don’t show them. I found this issue for OrganicMaps that says maps data is updated only when the whole app is updated and I assume CoMaps works the same.
Are there any structural reasons why this is the case? Or is there a possibility/plans to have maps data refresh more frequently?
I don’t think that GSOC project has anything to do with OSM other than that they reference downstream OSM data consumers as potential users and wrote a blogpost on their OSM Diary about it.
It also doesn’t matter, because there simply aren’t enough people actively contributing to OSM to keep temporary short-term road closures up to date, even if a database for such data existed.
