The rapid growth of the OpenStreetMap database with the recent massive data imports drastically reduced the time we thought we had to migrate away from our server that we knew would not be able to host MapOSMatic and the full planet database for [...]

Thanks to the FSF France and especially Laurent Guerby, we have found a new temporary hosting for MapOSMatic, on a monster machine (64 GB of RAM, 24 cores and lots of storage space). Maxime has been working this week on setting up this new machine, and he hopes to be able to restart the MapOSMatic [...]

MapOSMatic recently passed an important milestone in its history. A few weeks ago, we served our 10,000th rendered map (Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux, Jura, France) !
