Way to use live / current OSM map?
It would be really helpful for fixing problem is the OSM data if it was possible to have ABRP use the “live” map so you could see if the change you just made had the desired effect. Is this possible now or could it be implemented?
It seems like it takes a couple of weeks for OSM edits to be reflected in ABRP’s maps — that’s pretty good compared to the once a year updates for the native navigation in my car, but it’s a disincentive to making updates in OSM since you can’t tell if what you’re doing will produce the results you are hoping for in ABRP.

Hi
I got this from my colleague:
“We don't edit OSM that often and don't have that much human power to fix OSM that would make it worth developing a tools/workarounds for this use case.
So if one really wants to fix the map to help ABRP find the best route then I can suggest the following options
Use this public demo https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_valhalla_car&route=61.166%2C7.8%3B59.33%2C18.08#map=7/60.232/12.942, it should use daily snapshots... but I'm not sure
Or use this demo - https://valhalla.openstreetmap.de/directions?profile=car, this tool might also use daily snapshots but again, no promises here
Or, ultimately, download a small piece of map from https://download.geofabrik.de and run Valhalla locally (will require mac/linux machine) following https://valhalla.github.io/valhalla/building/#running-valhalla-server-on-unix and then, together with any route visualisation tool (I'm using https://github.com/kinkard/valhalla-debug) it would be possible to edit that piece of OSM (it is possible to extract small bbox for convenience and then edit xml representation using
osmiumtool), rebuild the road graph after restarting the Valhalla explore the results...”
