    Hi Roger,

    I'm sorry to hear this.

    Street Map does seem to be the main issue when it comes to loading tiles.

    I'll update this topic as soon as the devs have made any changes.

    Sorry Julien - plotting again today, things have slipped backwards. Still better than before but tiles do not fill if on very large scale views. (Street Map)

    Work in progress still I think.

    Thanks, Winfried. :)

    The devs are still looking to improve the speed of some base maps, especially the default Street Map.

    During the last 10 days or so the responsiveness of the Plotaroute web site and map tiles have been a lot better.
    Thanks for the server improvements!

    Brilliant, thanks for the quick answer, Roger. =)

    I was just about to update you when I saw your message.

    Yes I'm relieved to say all seems to be well.  I have plotted and adjusted, using Street Map, over 500k of the route  I am hoping to do later this spring and all seems to be very good.

    THANK YOU!

    Hi Roger,

    I'm sorry to hear the street map seemed very slow when you sent your message last week.

    Is this still the case?

    The team has made some improvements to the tile servers, so I hope not.

    @Mark: about (c), I have just updated both this and that topic: Cycle Map should work again.

    Kind regards,
    Julien

    Hi all

    Current observations using Firefox v149.0 on a Windows 11 (build 25H2) laptop, with Adblock and Ghostery enabled:

       (a) very fast-to-instantaneous: Street, Terrain, Trails, Transport, World Topo, Topo/OS;
       (b) fast (visibile to naked eye) build up of tiles: Satellite, Hybrid, Accuterra (US);
       (c) dead (blank page, tiles not uploading): Cycle (dead also in Google Chrome).

    The above speeds apply to both initial page loads and subsequent page-refreshments following a +/- zoom.

    Cheers

    Mark

    No improvement.  I would go so far as say that "Street map" is unusable.  As I am presently trying to plan a major tour of 1000k this is becoming a deal breaker.

    Hi everyone,

    Just letting you know that Arnaud is currently looking into this.

    He has just made an update to try to further enhance the speed of the tiles.

    He's investigating why some maps are blank for some users and fine for others (no issues with Cycle and Transport for me right now).

    As reported by Mark here, there also seems to be a difference between the website and the web app.

    We'll update this topic as soon as there is any news.

    Best regards,
    Julien
