I have several nodes now updated to the latest nightly firmware 03-18-2022 - 1049-321e58b. Neither of these are updating on the map.
Anyone have any thoughts?
I have not changed any details except for the firmware updates. The map has always updated showing the current firmware.
The map shows my last update a month ago on all.
Thanks,

Which map?
If you mean the map on the arednmesh.org website, that only updates when you manually update it However if you are doing the manual update from each node, I will concur that it is not updating. Just tried several of my nodes that have 1049 and no update on the arednmesh.org webpage map.
If you are talking about some other map, please specify which one.
I concur. N-1049 indicates that the AREDN online map is updating, but it is not showing up on the online map. I have reported to AREDN developer.
Gentlemen,
Thank you. I thought perhaps I had forgotten a simple step. And yes,
I was attempting to update the map from the setup page.
Now that the issue is known, I am sure the team will render a fix shortly.
While I am on the subject of the Team, let me say thank you for the really fine work.
The latest nightly does load faster.
Thanks,

I'll take a look at the online map issue. prob NOT a firmware issue, but, the map generation service.
Updated several types of nodes from 1049 to 1056 and uploaded data to AREDN servers. It uploads alright - but not correctly. Every node I uploaded, disappeared from the map. Node types updated were:
Rocket M3 XM
Rocket M5 XW
hAP AC lite
LHG 5nD
LHG 2nD
GL iNet USB150
GL iNet AR750
While you're in there, Darryl, you might delete the following US nodes that have been positioned in China:
KB5NZV-Home
KF5TPZ-SVALE-1
K7TJH-R5-Omni
KK6VSY-160-123-127
BTW, nice to see new nodes coming up in Thailand.
@k6ah done
Does the "service" drop node names that have not been active for some period of time? If a user changes their node name and then upgrades their firmware apparently the prior node name is still kept on the map. At least that is what I am seeing here in Newbury Park, Ca. Too bad that a node user by call sign is not alerted as to their firmware "version level" and those who don't care to try nightly builds are informed to sit tight with "working released" versions while others experiment with the "nightly." Just a thought.
Assuming you are talking about the map on the arednmesh.org website (and not some other map).. The firmware upgrade part is irrelevant to this. Yes, if a node changes name, and the location is manually sent to the AREDN server, both the old and new names will be shown. Along that line, can K6CCC-RocM3-2 be removed from the map - I sold that node almost a year ago...
Since the firmware versions only update on the map when the owner manually uploads data to the AREDN server, it is not a good reference for firmware versions in use. I'm certain that very few people push the button to upload data to the AREDN server every time they update firmware.
By comparison, there are some local map systems that do poll the network regularly and DO have current node names, locations, and firmware versions. An example here in So Calif is: https://mapping.kg6wxc.net/meshmap or on the web at: kg6wxc-srv.local.mesh/meshmap But that is not what this thread is about.
