Hi @gspeed,

This is still an issue.

> [@Mapsurfer endpoint limitations](https://ask.openrouteservice.org/t/mapsurfer-endpoint-limitations/1442):

> 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
