Do you have packets coming in during that time, or have you closed
all interfaces?

If new data is coming in, you'll get that symbol/track data updated
fairly quickly, and within something like 30 or 60 seconds you'll
probably get a complete update of all of the symbols/tracks.

The maps themselves don't automatically refresh, as there's no
reason to unless you're doing weather maps or something.  You can
specify an update interval in the .geo files for those sorts of
maps.  Weather alert Shapefiles should come/go automatically as they
arrive or time out.
