orecastUpdate 9 November, 0:20 a.m.: maintenance is done. orecast was offline for only about a quarter of an hour and now runs on a server with twice the computing power and memory. Thank you for your patience!
More people use orecast every day, and we are very happy about that. To keep the map, the search and the app fast even when many visitors are on at the same time, we are upgrading our server.
When?
In the night from Sunday, 8 November, to Monday, 9 November 2026, between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. (German time, CET).
What does this mean for you?
During this time the website, the web map and the app will be temporarily unavailable. Searching, loading sites and uploading finds will not work. Areas you have saved in the app to take with you still work without a connection, and you can still record a find in your find book. It uploads as soon as we are back.
What gets better
After the maintenance orecast will run with more power. The map loads faster, and searches and analyses respond more quickly, even when many people are out exploring at once.
If orecast is not back after 2 a.m., please try again a few minutes later.
Thank you for your patience during this short break, and thank you for being part of orecast!
Your orecast team
