Hi I’m a new user from Linz, Austria. My main interest would be in documenting and mapping art in architecture (as soon as I get a hold of the functionality of adding stuff to OSM). Old housing complexes get demolished frequently and with them the murals that sometimes decorate the outside are lost forever. It is worth documenting these sites before they are gone.

A major problem at the moment is that OSM seems to load bigger cities quite qickly (Cardiff, Berlin), but with smaller cities like Linz and even when loading Vienna, zooming in on a street can cause the map to get stuck with blank, grey fields and/or highly pixelated areas that just do not finish loading properly at all.

Is there some way to get around this issue?

Second question: How can I add murals and art in architecture along with photos?
