* for the last hour
The map renders grey or white blocks instead of actual imagery. This usually means the tile server at tile.openstreetmap.org is under load or your browser is caching broken requests. Clear the browser cache, hard-reload the page with Ctrl+Shift+R, and try a different browser. If the issue persists across browsers, the CDN might be rate-limiting your IP — wait a few minutes and reload.
You hit ''Save'' but nothing goes through, or you get a 409 conflict error. Common causes:
- Your OSM session expired — log out and back in before retrying
- A changeset is already open from a crashed session — go to your profile and close it manually
- JOSM can''t reach the API at api.openstreetmap.org — check your firewall or proxy settings blocking port 443
- The object you''re editing was modified by someone else — download the latest version and merge changes
The Nominatim geocoder sometimes lags behind recent edits by 24–48 hours, so newly added places won''t appear immediately. For missing results, double-check the spelling and try a shorter query. If a well-established location isn''t showing up, the underlying data might have a tagging issue — open the area in the editor and verify the name and place tags are correct.
Tile rendering is asynchronous. After saving a changeset, visual updates can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on the zoom level — low zoom tiles refresh less frequently. Zoom into level 17–19 to see changes faster. You can also request a tile refresh using the ''dirty tile'' trick by appending a parameter to the tile URL, but the simplest fix is just waiting.
If the login page loops or throws an error, try these steps:
- Delete cookies specifically for openstreetmap.org
- Disable browser extensions that modify headers or block scripts
- Use the ''Forgot password'' flow — the reset email can take a few minutes to arrive
- If OAuth login via a third-party app fails, revoke and reauthorize the app token in your account settings under ''My Settings → OAuth applications''
