Is OpenStreetMap down right now? Live status and outage tracker

OpenStreetMap outages and problems

In the past 24 hours, 3 user reports came in for OpenStreetMap. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.

The busiest 15-minute window had 1 report, about 22 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix OpenStreetMap not working

OpenStreetMap is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Reload without the cached copy

   Grey squares or a map that stops halfway down the screen usually means your browser is showing an old copy of the tiles. Press Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac while openstreetmap.org has focus. That clears most blank-map cases.

2. Switch the map layer

   The layer menu at the right edge of the map offers Standard, Cycle Map, Transport Map and Humanitarian. Pick a different one and watch whether it draws. If the second layer appears while Standard stays blank, the problem sits with one tile server rather than your account or your connection.

3. Sign out and back in before saving

   An expired login makes the save button in the iD editor fail, and your changes stay parked in the browser tab while the error sits at the top. Sign out at openstreetmap.org, sign in again, then reopen the edit view and save. iD asks before closing a tab that holds unsaved work, so read that prompt instead of clicking past it.

4. Read the platform status wiki, then try JOSM

   The wiki page at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Platform_Status lists known outages and maintenance on the API and the tile servers, which tells you whether waiting is the fix. If the API looks healthy and iD still refuses to save, open the same area in JOSM with your OSM login; it talks to the server through a different code path, so a browser-only fault stops mattering.

While OpenStreetMap is down: what to use instead

• Google Maps You keep driving directions.
• Apple Maps Pick it when you need public transit or walking routes in a city because it pulls live schedules that the main map edit site lacks.
• Bing Maps Open it for aerial views and street level photos while you wait for tile loads and edits to work again.
• OsmAnd Keep OsmAnd on your phone for offline hikes since it reads downloaded tiles without a signal.
