[Talk-GB] Yahoo coverage map
I have just corrected an error on the display of the Map of Yahoo coverage in UK. http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~steve8/yahoo.html Thanks to Edgemaster for the advice. If anyone knows of any new areas that have Y! coverage please let me know so I can update that layer.

We're using their standard imagery, not some special OSM released subset...

Steve I am afraid I don't know the answer. Yahoo surely have all the imagery, but presumably have chosen to release this random coverage to OSM.

Interesting stuff - it really shows just how limited the aerial coverage is though. :( Do you know if Yahoo are actively expanding their coverage? It's quite surprising to see some large cities like Birmingham not included. - Steve xmpp:st...@nexusuk.org sip:st...@nexusuk.org http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I've done some bits from Y! around there and Warrington area, mostly fields, streams, woodlands etc. Following discussions on the lists, I thought I'd leave roads to people 'on the ground'. cheers, LT ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

[Talk-GB] Yahoo coverage map
Because I wanted to know, and as an exercise in OpenOverLayerIng, I have produced a map combining the extent of Yahoo aerial imagery coverage in GB with an overlay of the significant places calculated to be in most need of mapwork (from UK_Map_Priorities). You can see result at http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~steve8/yahoo.html Interesting that St Helens should be on list and also within Y! coverage, but it looks to me that someone has done a lot of work there since the calculations (in December I think it was). Also good that mapping parties are starting to be arranged for these places (M Keynes and Sunderland already - Grimsby anyone? [zoom in on mapnik layer for full effect]).
