@nokturne213 To move a node, one need only drag can drop it, or press M to move it. It will not move if you only change the address tags. But if it moved quite far, you may want to retag the original node with whatever it has there now (or as a vacant shop if it is vacant,) and then make a new node at its new location.

When I try and do that it wants to move the area of the building too, not only the point.

Okay, I had to extract the point then I could move the point to my current shop.

@nokturne213 You can right click the building and "extract" the shop from the building. You should probably move the address information back onto the building, though.

Got it moved. Waiting on approval now. Thank you.

We don’t do “approval” here, all changes are live directly. However, it might be that your application of choice simply didn’t update yet.

I am using organic maps on iOS. It shows the business that was in my shop two businesses ago (they left in the spring of 2021, while the business before me left in February 2024).

Is there a way to get it to use updated maps?

@mcliquid @nokturne213 @pietervdvn The goal is to update at least weekly, maybe even more often. More donations = more money to scale the development and server load = more cool features, including more frequent updates.

As MC dev, I’m a bit curious on how your data pipeline works. Is there some documentation around for this?

Check OpenStreetMap (e.g. using MapComplete.org) if the data there is correct. If it is, update Organic Maps or the maps in Organic Maps. (I’m more of an OsmAnd person, so don’t know how that is done)
