Hi, We're using OpenStreetMap to display a map on a big screen (http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=5/46.890/-72.664&layers=Q). There is a big white block on the map at zoom level 5. Is there a fix or workaround for this? Update: asked 15 Jan '15, 17:46 scottas aseerel4c26 ♦ |
The cause of this issue is a quirk where tiles get created without terrain or vegetation. More information can be found at http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/forums/-/message_boards/message/1068447#_19_message_1095051 Because there is a content delivery network (CDN) in use, different people may see the bug differently. answered 16 Jan '15, 02:16 pnorman |
Can you add a screenshot of what you see there? I don't see a big white block - I'm guessing that perhaps a tile failed to load or something. Also, the "Q" at the end of the URL says that you're using MapQuest's tiles, so OpenStreetMap itself isn't directly involved :)
Screenshot added. Ah I see - so this is an issue with MapQuest? Still I can't seem seem to re-produce the issue on open.mapquest.ca.
The tile in question is http://otileX.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/osm/5/8/11.png (where X is 1-4). All 4 tiles look OK to me in the UK, and the same tile via the 4 https addresses looks OK too.
Interesting. Seeing this on 3 different devices on two different networks here (east coast of Canada). This link shows the white tile for me: http://otile4.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/osm/5/8/11.png .
Hi, got got white tiles too (in France), but not the same ! I purged the cache of my browser, refreshed the page and got the same white blocks. Same thing with Firefox & Iexplore. Every one of 5 tiles is white.
