Since I use some "wobbly" scanned maps I think of this as a better
tool: http://warper.geothings.net/ (or alpha-state site
http://staging.mapwarper.net/ for unlimited map-size)
Plus, other people can also work with the map and help rectifying it.

For the rectified map a WMS-url is generated with which one can use it
conveniently in JOSM.

Hi,

With PicLayer JOSM plugin, you can view the image as an underlay, move 
it and rescale it to fit (at least locally and approximately) existing 
OSM map data. (Use F1 to get help window).

Cheers,

Jean-Guilhem

Fairly safe, in NZ copyright lasts until 50 years after the death of
the author. [1] You're probably even safer given that the Berne
Convention (that established copyright) was only signed in 1886.[2]

[OSM-talk] volcano craters in auckland - possibly out of copyright map

2010-05-19 Thread Robin Paulson
i found a map on wikipedia from 1859, which i would assume makes it
out of copyright and thus far game for copying data into osm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AucklandMapHochstetter1859.JPG

if so, what would be the best way to view it as an underlay, for
adding volcanoes to the map database?

cheers
