Hi Dave, they need to be geo-rferenced from JPG's to GeoTiffs. We have done done the TPC's and them a WMS Layer you can use in JOSM (They are world wide coverage) We make the service free for Humanitarian Usage
We also made them available at Dsasternet.org, go to http://disasternet.org, double click where it says to sto bring up the map, go to menu -> crisis and then click on the tpc button. This si the same maps as available on the wms layer you can use to trace in JOSM To access them in JOSM, add a WMS Layer with service url of http://topo.disasternet.org/? ... (including the "?" in the end) and choose the Worlds TaticalPilotage Maps (Humanitarian Use Only) Option the click Ok You can then choose it as a backgound layer from the imagery Menu Hope it helps Regards Mark Cupitt "If we change the world, let it bear the mark of our intelligence" See me on LinkedIn <http://ph.linkedin.com/in/markcupitt> *See me on StackExchange <http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/17846/mark-c>* =============================================================================================== The contents of this email are intended only for the individual(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential or privileged information.
