For a few weeks I've now been experiencing issues with the routing feature on the OSM home page.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Click the Routing button (arrow icon).
  • Enter start position (in my case, I could select the address from the history afrer entering a few characters).
  • Enter the destination. In my case, the history list will pop up after a few characters but around the same time I will get a JavaScript alert "Sorry couldn't find that place". After clicking OK, I can complete my destination entry and click "Go", but nothing happens and no route is calculated.

If go directly to a routing URL (e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=mapquest_car&route=60.2963%2C25.0394%3B60.2955%2C25.0448#map=16/60.2971/25.0374&layers=Q), the route is displayed, hence it is apparently the input form that is not working.

I have tried this on four different machines:

  • Machine 1: Ubuntu MATE 14.10, Firefox 39, no proxy DOESN'T WORK.
  • Machine 2: Ubuntu MATE 15.04, Firefox 39 or 40 (iirc), no proxy DOESN'T WORK.
  • Machine 3: Kubuntu 12.04-based, old Firefox (not sure about version), behind proxy WORKS.
  • Machine 4: Ubuntu 12.04, Firefox 25, no proxy WORKS.

I remember that routing worked from Machine 1 around May (most likely on an earlier Firefox version), thus I suspect either an update on OSM or on the PCs (most likely the browser) broke things.

Mapquest no longer provides routing services on osm.org. The error message may be similar to openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#1874
