Hey Sam, I'd all suggest trying to get the imagery for free first. This obviously won't work everywhere but could hurt.
HOT usually doesn't buy imagery, I got close to actual purchasing it from a supplier at one point, but then Bing announced we could use theres. I can send you the supplier info I have though, I believe it is the same one that Mikel utilized in the past. -Kate On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 5:18 AM, Sam Larsen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > As part of the GPSToGo revamp, one of our imagery sources will be the > purchase of high-res satellite imagery (funded by donations) for specified > areas in developing countries. > Having not been involved in this process for HOT, i would like to get some > more info on the suppliers that we have used in HOT, the WMS hosting & image > processing steps we have taken. > Mikel outline the process to me last week but i need to get it all written > down. > > Please can someone outline the imagery request process, suggested imagery > suppliers, guide imagery purchase price (i am hoping to get the same price > for GPSToGo), expected cost of WMS hosting and any other considerations so > that i can put together a plan for imagery acquisition for our project. > > Thanks all, > > Sam Larsen > Web GIS Specialist > M: +44 (0)794 433 7455 > > > > > _______________________________________________ > HOT mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot > > _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
