Hi, I used to follow the procedure described below (and in my case it was working perfectly): http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/2/25/Rendering.pdf Recently I noticed that right-click function has been changed and now a new menu appears which consists of six options: 'Directions from here' 'Directions to here' 'Add a note here' 'Show address' 'Query features' 'Centre map here' The question is how do we check a tile's name now. TIA Michal |

As workaround you can try it over there: https://mc.bbbike.org/mc/?num=1&mt0=mapnik (it uses tiles from openstreetmap.org). In general, how-to get the browser's original right-click context menu:
However, we do not get the clicked tile's (image) address via that original context menu... due to the way leaflet is programmed. 1
Maybe I'm missing something, but I've not been able to get the Any idea what's going on?

@keithonearth: I agree, updated my answer. I guess it is due to the way leaflet shows the map tiles.

It was actually a change at the Leaflet level (which is what OSM uses to show tiles). https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2017-February/029720.html has the details.

As said at https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/60223, another way to get the tile URL is, with Firefox, to access the page information (which may be in the browser Tools menu or in the non-Javascript right-click menu, which you can open with Ctrl-Shift-right click). The page information contains a Media tab with the URL of all images. It's not very handy, but it's feasible. Of course it would be more sensible to have a "Request rendering" option somewhere. However the best way may be to use the latest version of JOSM, where you may see the tile status or force rendering (right-click on the map). |

In Google Chrome, open the developers tools (f12) and click on the Network tab, then reload the page (f5). You can then see a list of PNGs, and you can get the URL for the ones you want. |
For info, there's discussion on this right now at github at https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/1446 .
@SomeoneElse, that discussion has now been closed, with claims of "canvassing", and the developer is refusing to discuss how to allow users to view individual tiles.
And that discussion has spilled over into the dev mailing list: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2017-February/029713.html
After digging through many pages of that discussion - https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2017-February/029713.html - I found a satisfying tool with right-click functionality I was looking for: http://www.sammyshp.de/fsmap/ Cheers, Michal
