Map update intervals

1. How often do general features (e.g. new buildings, roads, paths, etc.) get updated/become visible on Mapy? In FAQ it says "The basic map is usually updated once a week for the Czechia; 1x per month for the rest of the world."
However, I corrected a road name more than 1 month ago, but the change still doesn't seem to be visible in Mapy?
On the other hand, I noticed that basic nodes/single-point POIs inserted on OSM become visible as early as 1-2 days later, which is really impressive!
2. How often do offline maps get updated?
Thanks!

please be patient few more days / weeks. We are preparing some optimalization in processes and in future we hope that we will do it even faster than now.
In general we are downloading package from OSM which is published every 14 days and then we are rendering data. For portal it can take 1 month, for app with vector data little bit more. For routing it takes around 14 days.
Yes, POIs are visible quite fast (2-3 days)
We are working on processes that data from OSM should be in mapy.cz in 3 weeks.

"We are working on processes that data from OSM should be in mapy.cz in 3 weeks." -- so this means Mapy will update its online OSM data every 3 weeks for any changes made on OSM (other than POIs which typically get updated within 2 days)?
What about offline maps? Will those also get updated on shorter intervals?

The last update was on 21.7.2022 and has OSM data as of 19.6.

Is there a chance you could add a small timestamp to denote the date when maps were last updated? (Both to Web and iOS version - with offline maps included.)

Is that just a temporary issue due to some optimization processes you mentioned above? Or will Mapy even in the future no longer update new POIs in such short intervals as before (in 1-2 days)?
Thanks!

On the other hand, I'm quite disappointed that the general OSM data on the Mobile Mapy app is currently still from late August, while Web Mapy data is slightly newer - from around mid-September. But that's still almost 2 months old already for Web Mapy and almost 3 months for Mobile Mapy. I really hope that in the near future we will see more regular updates for both Web and Mobile apps. Ideally every 2-3 weeks as Jakub mentioned above, or AT LEAST once a month as many other similar apps do.

Sure, I understand that a 2 week cycle may be a bit too often for the mobile app - but could you at least try to provide monthly updates like other similar apps do? Currently, the OSM data in Mapy for iOS is from late August - that's almost 3 months old data already... :-( Yet new buildings, roads, hiking paths etc. are added to OSM on a daily basis, so 3 months really seems like an eternity.
Looking forward to the December update.

Alternatively, choose the most frequently used countries and update them monthly, the rest of the world every 2 months.

Aký je plán aktualizovania POI? Je to stále chyba, alebo nové pravidlo?

>>> Actually, I think the best way to do it would be to provide at least monthly updates and then allow the users to update whenever they want - because it seems that currently whenever an update of offline maps is available within the app, the app will force you to download it before you can actually use the maps. So instead of that, allow the users to use the older version of maps if they are not in an area with wifi or fast internet speed and let them update whenever they can, or want. Let them use the previous version of offline data without forcing them to update before they could even continue to use the map. You could easily provide, e.g. a red badge on the Settings button in Mapy (and a written notification at the bottom of the screen) to indicate that a map update is available, for example, but also let the user ignore it for the moment and update later.
PS: if some users are complaining about frequent updates - that’s totally their problem. Other users, myself included, who are regular OSM contributors, would on the other hand definitely appreciate more frequent updates.

Predtým ste to mali lepšie.
