Mar 12, 2012 · OpenStreetMap provides data yes, and you'll need specific tools to make map with them. You first need to put the data in a true GIS format, which OSM is not. Think about PostGIS, an osm2pgsql tool is designed for that. Then, you'll need a rendering tool, i.e. a cartographic engine. You can use Mapnik or MapServer.
Usage. One of its many users is the OpenStreetMap project (OSM), which uses it in combination with an Apache Web Server module (mod_tile) and openstreetmap-carto style to render tiles that make up the OSM default layer. [4][5] Mapnik is also used by CloudMade, [6] MapQuest, [7] and MapBox. [8]
mapnik combines pixel-perfect image output with lightning-fast cartographic algorithms, and exposes interfaces in C++, Python, and Node.
Oct 18, 2010 · A: Mapnik is used in many large production systems for rendering OpenStreetMap data, so we’ve always known Mapnik could hold up under extremely high load while efficiently rendering tiles...

The short answer to this question is: The rendering of the main (mapnik) map should typically update within a few (tens of) minutes, however occasionally it can take longer. The longer answer is a little more complicated, as there are many components that interact in subtle ways to produce the updated results.
