OpenStreetMap Server Status: Live Tracking & Outage Reports

person By: Monitoring team

update Last updated: Jun 18, 2026, 10:27 AM UTC

OpenStreetMap is the world's premier collaborative, open-source geographic database, powering thousands of navigation apps, websites, and GIS tools globally. When developers and mapping enthusiasts ask, "is OpenStreetMap down right now", it's because disruptions to their map tile servers or API endpoints can instantly halt critical location services. We track the OpenStreetMap server status around the clock to keep you informed of any live downtime.

Currently, based on our real-time global monitoring network, the status of OpenStreetMap is operational. Most users are reporting that the platform is functioning perfectly without any major interruptions. If you feel that OpenStreetMap is not working for you, or if you are experiencing severe OpenStreetMap lag, it is highly likely a local problem related to your device, ISP internet connection, or router configuration rather than a pervasive global server outage.

How an OpenStreetMap Outage Disrupts Global Mapping Apps and GIS Developers

When OpenStreetMap experiences problems today, the effects cascade across the web: map tiles display as blank grey grids, the Nominatim geocoding API fails to resolve addresses, and the Overpass API rejects queries. For developers relying on OSM's database, an active OpenStreetMap outage today 2026 means disrupted routing, broken location searches, and halted map editing pipelines.

If the OpenStreetMap status is currently marked as red (Major Outage) or yellow (Partial Outage) on our live dashboard map above, you will likely experience one or all of these frustrating symptoms. Our proprietary algorithm aggregates these micro-reports from around the web to accurately verify and flag these exact downtime situations as they unfold minute by minute.

Recent OpenStreetMap Outage Reports & Network Performance

Looking at the short-term history, our automated down detector has chronicled exactly 0 user error reports over the prior 24 hours. Because of these reported fluctuations, OpenStreetMap is sitting at a 100.00% uptime metric for the current rolling day.

The recent historical telemetry shows an absolutely quiet baseline. With no major reporting peaks anywhere on the chart, OpenStreetMap appears to be running smoothly with ideal server health.

Troubleshooting OpenStreetMap: What to Do When Map Tiles or APIs Fail to Load

If our page indicates that the service is operational, yet you are still asking "Why is OpenStreetMap not loading?", try these quick troubleshooting steps:

Check the Tile Server Cache & Headers: If map tiles are not rendering in your application, clear your browser cache or check if your app's user-agent header is correctly configured. OpenStreetMap's tile usage policy blocks generic or empty user-agents, which can make it look like OpenStreetMap is down when it is actually blocking your specific requests.
Switch to an Alternative Tile Provider: During a major OpenStreetMap outage today 2026, developers should temporarily point their Leaflet or OpenLayers configurations to commercial OSM-based tile providers like Mapbox, JawgMaps, or Stadia Maps to keep their mapping applications functional.
Verify Nominatim & Overpass API Rate Limits: If your geocoding or data queries are failing, check your application's request frequency. OpenStreetMap enforces strict rate limits on its public APIs. If you exceed these, your IP will be temporarily blocked, mimicking an OpenStreetMap network status failure.

How to Fix & Check if OpenStreetMap Is Down on Windows, Mac, Android & iOS

desktop_windows

OpenStreetMap on Windows

Fix: Clear your browser cache and cookies, or disable active VPNs and proxy servers that might block connection to OpenStreetMap. You can also try accessing the site using an alternative web browser.

Check: Attempt to load the main OpenStreetMap website in an incognito window to bypass local cache issues. You can also run the built-in Windows Network Diagnostics tool to check for connection blocks.

Command Prompt (CMD)

ping openstreetmap.org Test whether OpenStreetMap's servers reply

nslookup openstreetmap.org Check that OpenStreetMap's DNS resolves

tracert openstreetmap.org Trace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdns Clear the DNS cache, then reload

laptop_mac

OpenStreetMap on Mac

Fix: Clear website data in Safari or Chrome, and disable any ad-blockers or extensions that might interfere with OpenStreetMap's map tiles. Flushing your Mac's DNS cache can also resolve connection issues.

Check: Check if the OpenStreetMap website loads in a different browser to see if the issue is browser-specific. If it fails to load across all browsers, the service may be experiencing an outage.

Terminal

ping -c 4 openstreetmap.org Test whether OpenStreetMap's servers reply

nslookup openstreetmap.org Check that OpenStreetMap's DNS resolves

traceroute openstreetmap.org Trace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder Flush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

android

OpenStreetMap on Android

Fix: Clear the cache of your mobile browser or the specific mapping app utilizing OpenStreetMap data. Ensure that background data usage is enabled and that your location permissions are granted.

Check: Try loading openstreetmap.org in a mobile browser on both Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if the issue is network-specific. If the site fails to load on both, OpenStreetMap may be offline.

phone_iphone

OpenStreetMap on iPhone / iPad

Fix: Clear Safari's history and website data, or restart your iOS device to refresh the connection to OpenStreetMap. If you are using a third-party app powered by OpenStreetMap, try reinstalling it from the App Store.

Check: Open Safari and try to access the OpenStreetMap homepage to verify if the web service is responding. If the page loads but maps do not, check if location services are enabled for your browser.

How We Monitor the OpenStreetMap Network Status

Official corporate dashboards rarely tell the truth immediately. isitdownrightnow.app takes a different approach by aggregating real community sentiment. If thousands of people suddenly complain about a OpenStreetMap outage at exactly the same time, we know the servers are actually down.

Our infrastructure maps the current problem report velocity directly against expected normal traffic. Once an abnormal surge is authenticated, the live charts automatically adjust to yellow or red. This crowdsourced methodology is why isitdownrightnow.app provides the most rapid and trustworthy OpenStreetMap status updates on the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OpenStreetMap down right now?

To find out if OpenStreetMap is down right now, check our live crowd-sourced status indicator above. We aggregate real-time user reports, network latency tests, and API response checks to determine if the OpenStreetMap server status is currently green or experiencing localized outages.

What is the OpenStreetMap server status?

The OpenStreetMap server status depends on several independent systems, including the main database, the Tile CDN, Nominatim search, and the Overpass API. If you are experiencing OpenStreetMap problems today, it is often due to a regional CDN outage or rate-limiting on public API endpoints, which we monitor continuously.

Why is OpenStreetMap not working today?

If OpenStreetMap is not working today, it could be due to scheduled server maintenance, high traffic loads on the free tile servers, or an unexpected OpenStreetMap network status failure. Because OSM runs on donated infrastructure, sudden spikes in API requests can occasionally cause temporary service degradations.

How do I check if OpenStreetMap is down?

You can check by using our dedicated OpenStreetMap down detector tool on this page to see if other users are reporting similar issues. Additionally, checking the official OpenStreetMap system status page or verifying if the map tiles fail to load on openstreetmap.org can help confirm if the service is working.
