I somewhat urgently need a map, but for the past day or two there are no maps in #OSMand available for download. Can anyone confirm or deny this problem?

Is this related to the OSM outtage 6 days ago, which was supposedly resolved?

(edit) workaround -- download maps manually and side-load them. The maps are here:

https://osmand.net/list.php

Next question: how do you know which files cover a particular city if it’s not obvious from the filename?

Openstreetmap has 96 languages supported while Google Maps merely has 74 and Apple Maps only has 33.

This makes it way more accessible to the world!

Now you can edit the database once again.

I'm not going to lie it was a rough couple of days without my beloved service QQ

Currently the map data is in read-only mode thanks to the backup Irish servers and the outage has been ongoing for 10 hours.
