The built in slippymap plugin supports NearMap Australia as a built in option. Now I just need to compare to a few GPS traces before I start aligning roads around my suburb.

Just to make a more clear reply to this... we're aware of some issues with tall bridges over water areas, related to automatic calculation of the DTM from the DSM. We are working to improve this.

Re: [talk-au] More NearMap Sydney imagery...
Great, saves me putting together the patch. Basically did the same, and it's been working great. The only other thing was to increased the max cache setting size from 999Mb to Mb in PreferencesDialog.ui. Even though the largest cache size so far has been 800Mb still thought 999Mb maybe exceeded. In an earlier thread someone spoke about aligning the tiles to a known point when using JOSM. Is this possible with Merkaartor? I haven't noticed any tiles that needed aligning once the nearmap tiles were corrected for Melbourne.

Re: [talk-au] More NearMap Sydney imagery...
Sorry, i've never used JOSM personally, however there is some info in the wiki on getting Nearmap working in JOSM http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NearMap_PhotoMaps#JOSM Franc, thanks for the patch for Merkaartor, i've recomplied with it and it works perfectly. Hope the developers can get it into the next version. On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 5:40 PM, Steve Bennett wrote: > And what about JOSM? So far I've just been using Potlatch because "it > just works".

And what about JOSM? So far I've just been using Potlatch because "it just works". What do I have to do to get Nearmap going in JOSM?

Could you please post the settings you used to get Merkaartor showing nearmap tiles? I've been trying for a few days and none of the tms server settings i tried have worked.

Re: [talk-au] More NearMap Sydney imagery...
Yeah, we cache at several levels, and quite aggressively. The conflict between getting stuff cached for a decent time and yet being responsive to imagery changes is, er, challenging! However, if you use If-Modified-Since and If-No-Match queries, you should be able to get sensible responses for when tiles are modified.

Haven't checked in the last 24 hours, but yesterday I cleared the 700Mb cache that Merkaartor had built up of Eastern suburbs around Melbourne, but still were getting a mix of tiles(old/new) around the zoom 19 level.When I checked with a web browser it still seems to be a mix, not sure if it could be ISP caching?
