- Rendering of new map tiles (details below *)
- XAPI / jXAPI
- dev.openstreetmap.org server (
errol) - osmfoundation.org and stateofthemap.org web sites
As a temporary replacement for XAPI/jXAPI, consider using third-party services such as that provided by Mapquest.
Following services are *not* affected
- www.openstreetmap.org web site
- API and Editing (*phew*)
- planet.openstreetmap.org and diffs.
- tile serving for existing tiles (details below *)
- Wiki
- Nominatim (search)
- mailing lists
- subversion and git (source code repositories)
- trac (bug-tracker)
- donate.openstreetmap.org
* Maps will still be viewable on the openstreetmap.org homepage and on other people's websites. We’ll be serving tiles from a back-up tile server. However rendering engines will be de-activated, meaning that new rendering of map updates will not take place during the maintenance period, some requests for tiles will fail, where no cached copy is available, and tile response times may be slower than normal.
