The tiles display this in the case of network troubles where the server isn't reachable, they're also displayed if the tile hasn't yet been rendered (and is present on the server's disk) and when it's not possible to render on the fly. Otherwise, the tile is added to the render queue and should be available at some point shortly in the future. > Showing OSM to a friend that has not seen 'the Map' does not give a good > impression this way.
