Does anyone know what causes long load times for GPS?

0

Honestly, i'm pretty sure it's the fault of the site they take the gps from, but i just wanna make sure. Cause i've been here for around half a day and it's just not loading. Takes a few minutes to load even a small patch. It's only so slow when it's from the polish geoportal.gov.pl site and stuff like bing works just as well (but it's not nearly as useful cause the GIS site i use also uses geoportal, but works just fine unless both OSM and the GIS is open) Is there another reason? Maybe there's a way to fix it?

What do you mean by "the GPS", and where is it slow?

I mean, the map itself. The layers, i think. It's slow in poland.

Do you mean the openstreetmap.org website? Which map layers there - have you tried the cycle map or humanitarian layer?

Well, it fixed itself with time ... and i meant when you edit, the actual image of the ground. The "background".
