Hi, Great Jeff, I lately started mapping Regent´s Park in London for the use as a starting point in iD, for London we got multiply historical aerial imagery, I thought that it would be a good first user experience... It allows new user to get starting mapping London directly without any research. Still other locations could be considered instead.
If scanned old maps are available under a open license we could serve them as tile layers from tools like Maps Warper as default in iD so I guess it would allow us to give that user experience in any area. This would require that we have a instance of Maps Warper with only supported licenses and georeferenced maps. Don't know about the Wikimaps Warper instance and its relation to OHM(Tim?). // Albin 2015-04-29 1:54 GMT+02:00 Richard Welty <[email protected]>: > On 4/28/15 7:31 PM, Jeff Meyer wrote: > > > If anyone has any advice on tagging please let me know.
