TL;DR: use https://tile.openstreetmap.org, no subdomains, no short names.

Many projects, examples, and documentation still use old URLs to access the tile.openstreetmap.org service. The URLs should be updated as follows:

  • a.tile.openstreetmap.org -> tile.openstreetmap.org
  • b.tile.openstreetmap.org -> tile.openstreetmap.org
  • c.tile.openstreetmap.org -> tile.openstreetmap.org
  • a.tile.osm.org -> tile.openstreetmap.org
  • b.tile.osm.org -> tile.openstreetmap.org
  • c.tile.osm.org -> tile.openstreetmap.org
  • tile.osm.org -> tile.openstreetmap.org
  • http://* -> https:// (use secure URL)

tile.openstreetmap.org supports HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 which no longer require the old (a|b|c) aliases to increase browser connection concurrency. Using a single URL improves performance and ability to cache.

The old URLs have a maintenance burden and add complexity. The old URLs may stop working in the future. Please switch to the preferred URL now.

(This issue is for linking 3rd party projects on Github and elsewhere which are being asked to update tile.openstreetmap.org URLs)

@Firefishy Thanks for reporting this for GeoTiler. Do you mind if I ask you to link to the relevant OSM documentation?

@Firefishy Thanks for reporting this for GeoTiler. Do you mind if I ask you to link to the relevant OSM documentation?

This ticket is the documentation ;-) What would you like to see? Add something to https://operations.osmfoundation.org/ or on the blog? https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2022/05/01/meet-grant-slater-the-openstreetmap-foundation-s-new-senior-site-reliability-engineer/

I would like to suggest using the now preferred https://tile.openstreetmap.org URL instead of the current one (`{s}.`), see

openstreetmap/operations#737

Also, changes attribution URL to HTTPS link (use direct links).
Furthermore, changes name to simply 'OpenStreetMap'. (use common name)
