Refreshing Color Tiles

[Offsides]

Hi, Scott.

 I've noticed that when a download occurs to fill in a blank tile, it often is of noticeably higher resolution, as if the server database has been upgraded with higher res imagery since adjacent tiles were downloaded.  Isn't there a way to make TF "refresh" existing tiles?

Thanks for TF,
Bill

Hi Bill,

For certain tilesets you can force refresh for the whole thing -- particularly open streets, open aerial, etc.   Go to Options->Tilesets->Expire Maps.

Or, if you only need a few, use the refresh maps tool to click on tiles individually.

Best,

Scott

Scott.

I saw the "Expire all maps in tileset" button but couldn't find a reference in the docs.  I wasn't sure what it does.  I have many, many gb of map data that I'm afraid to experiment on and that button looks ominous.  I was hoping a block download would work on the old color tiles.  Tile by tile is ok but tedious.

Thanks,
Bill
