Re: [Talk-ca] GeoTiff in JOSM

Two options

1. Covert to tiles with gdal2tiles or another program.
2. Set up MapServer and server it with WMS

1 is faster at serving tiles but takes more disk space and pre-processing. 2
is slower but better for large files since you don't have to pre-process.

As your GeoTiff isn't very large, the first is a viable option. I'd guess it
might take me a week to process. 

MapServer is a pain to set up, as you've discovered. If you're running
Ubuntu I could show you my .map file if it'd help.

 Subject: [Talk-ca] GeoTiff in JOSM
 
 Anyone have a hint of how to view a GeoTiff in JOSM?
 Manitoba Lands Initiative updated the aerial imagery of Winnipeg and has
 a 50cm res MrSid file of the Winnipeg capital region; much more up to
 date than Bing aerial and also including high res pics of areas that
 Bing doesn't have.
 I've converted the MrSid file to a tiled GeoTiff, but at 19GB in size I
 am thinking I'll need to serve it up some how.
 I'm thinking I may need to use MapServer to serve this as a WMS layer
 for JOSM, but I'm not finding decent how-tos on that.
 Any hints?
 Thanks!

 Any eta on when you'll be finish with the lake Ontario coastline?

Oshawa to Kingston is 99% done. (The Bay of Quinte took a very long
time to do, but is done now.)

Oshawa to Hamilton is in progress, using Bing imagery. Niagara to
Hamilton is TBA, this will also be done with Bing imagery.

Given that this sort of work is time consuming it will take a while to
finish. However, 99% of the work that requires importing coastlines
from CanVec is done, and realigning coastlines using Bing is a lot
less disruptive and less error-prone.
