Mapsurfer tile server down/timeout

[gspeed]

Mapsurfer tiles seems not operational, they take minutes to load or timeouts.

(the same happens on tile via https://maps.heigit.org).

Thanks for checking!

Hi @gspeed,

This is still an issue.

Mapsurfer endpoint limitations

Dear ORS users, we are experiencing technical difficulties with our server hosting mapsurfer. The /mapsurfer endpoint currently only provides cached map tiles as no new tiles can be generated. It is a possibility that we will discontinue the mapsurfer tile service and remove the /mapsurfer endpoint from our API, due to the additional maintenance effort. Please consider switching to https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png for the time being. We will keep you posted on the developm…

I will remove it from the maps.ors website soon.

Thanks for the reminder

Best regards

Uh… I see. Does it means MapSurfer.NET project is definitively dead? I see the website mapsurfernet.com disappeared and github activity stopped two years ago.

It’s a pity, MapSurfer was the most visually appealing OSM-based map out there and I was hoping it entered in ORS realm! I thought this was the plan.

Thanks

I agree

Sadly part of the source code is still closed and the author stated, that there are currently no plans to make it open source.

Best regards
