I apologize in advance for reaching out to you with this question, but up until now, I have been unable to find an answer or a solution to overcome this problem.
For the past few months, I have been an active member of the TRAC group, created by @SholaIB for the creation and editing of roads on Google Maps.
Lately, I have been experiencing a situation where the system displays an “Oops something went wrong, TRY AGAIN” message and prevents me from continuing with the creation or addition of new roads. This issue persists for several hours or, as has been happening recently, even for an entire day. Initially, I was told that it could be a connectivity problem, but when I log in with a different account, this issue no longer occurs. However, if I reconnect with my own account, the problem resurfaces.
My personal feeling leads me to think that perhaps the system is processing my numerous requests and therefore putting me on hold. I want to emphasize that this is just my perception. When I asked the TRAC group about it, I found out that it’s happening to other people as well. Are you aware of this issue?
Is it a technical problem on my end (and if so, what should I check?) or is it related to my personal impression, and I just need to wait?
In my experience the “Please try again” error message is not exclusive to road creations.
I see it now and then when making normal edits. Usually I just keep trying immediately until it goes through. Normally, 5 tries are enough but seldomly it takes maybe 20. I don’t recall it not going through when I keep trying.
It could be a capacity or connection issue. Who know?
actually I am “locked out” with the “Oops” message. The only thing that I can do are EDITS. I’m here in La Maddalena and I decided to “Clean the map” in this place that I know very well.
I tried to click Try Later many times but with no success. I have only to wait.
I’m almost sure that is not a tech issue from my side. Connection speed, cache, or other tech issue should have a general impact so why if I change the account name I do do roads edit? And when I switch again to my one… “Oops”.
Seems that I have overload the system with request (I still have different hundreds pending). I discuss this also in the TRAC group and also @SholaIB sometims has this issue.
You know, the more I’m locked out and the biggest is the risk that @SholaIB con overtake me
Let’s see if any GM have any idea, otherwise…just wait. No problem.
If I were you I’ll forget about overtaking and try to resolve my issue as best as possible.
Back to the Oooops message !!! I I I stated clearly that I often have that issue but it’s as a result of my ISP network. It hardly lasts an hour. Some few minutes at the most. Your reply was your ISP I’d good and that switching over to another account you are able to contribute.
Hopefully you’ll get sorted out and continue to participate. 50k is the new target please
sorry for being not so precise (maybe my english is not so good but I’m trying to write directly in english)
With the expression “Locked Out” I was trying to say that when the message “Oops…” occur while I’m using Google Maps to add / edit roads I :
I can not edit / add any roads
but
I can do edits (and I get instant feed back)
I can add pictures
I can do reviews
Google maps works perfectly but NOT allowing me to do any activities on the ROADS.
Sure that the connection works fine because I can keep working (Edits, Pictures, etc.) and also because if I switch account (in Goggle Maps) I can keep mapping roads.
yesterday (monday the 5th) in the afternoon I was able again to edit / create roads.
It looks like an “overload” of the system because happens after sending lots of request of creating / editing roads. (see the picture below)
As I report a problem I receive an eMail "Thank you for reporting…" that the system process my request and, if approved, published.
In this case, that day, I reported more than 150 roads and than “Oops…” occurs and usually the system is not allowing me to go ahead into creating fixing roads for hours or more than a day.
I checked and tried everything , connections (over wi-fi and over mobile) Chrome, Safari or Firefox, MacMini M2 Pro and an “old” windows notebook. Cleaned cache and history and use all my knowledge but won’t able to fix. At he same time if I switch to another account … it works.
I’m just trying to understand if someone else has experienced this issue.
From my side I can simply wait and enjoy this sunny days.
I see, @MarcoDavoli , thank you very much for sharing your experience! It might be helpful to someone else who adds roads with the volumes you do (thank you for that!).
Hello everyone, I’d like to just update people outside of the TRAC group on how this has played out in the last almost 3 months.
@MarcoDavoli kept getting the “Oops…” message when he added around 90-100 roads in a day and it went away at some point. But it took at least a month. I found out that the this message also pops out when adding high volumes of roads in one day on a computer.
I’ve saved the dates and amount of roads added in one day at which I got the error message and couldn’t edit till about 12 hours later each time:
20.6. - 304 roads
26.6. - 572 roads
27.6. - 596 roads
3.7. - 610 roads
7.7. - 451 roads
8.7. - 682 roads
After that I haven’t been able to add that many roads to get to the 500+ range.
But it looked like it depends on the amount I do over the span of 24 hours, which was capped.
Fast forward to yesterday, this happened:
I have gone crazy and added 1098 roads in the span of 13 hours and haven’t got the message. About 95% of that was done on mobile.
A few days ago a member of the TRAC group gold us that he got the error message and it got me thinking.
Does editing on mobile doesn’t give the Oops message? And can we know the exact limits?
@DeniGu if you have an answer to this, I’d be glad to know more about it.
When I got this message (I’m using the desktop version on a MacOS with Google Chrome) I tried to keep working on my tablet and…IT WORKS.
Unfortunately adding roads on tablet is really slow and, in my opinion, difficult. So I choose to wait and in the meanwhile working on “Let’s clean the map”
