[talk-ph] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Directed Editing Policy

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

The OSMPH community has done a lot of "directed editing" activities and
events in the past so the following forwarded announcement is relevant to
us.

Comments and suggestions are welcome and we will try to relay these to the
Foundation.

Interesting. I know how to align the background imagery in OSM to the GPS
traces within OSM. But how would you do it using an external source like
this? Just in case I need it sometime ...


In JOSM, you can load the Strava layer as a secondary background layer. You
can then adjust the primary imagery layer (Bing, DigitalGlobe, Mapbox,
etc.) in the usual fashion. Just enable the Strava imagery in the imagery
preferences to include it in your preferred imagery list.

Not sure how to do this in iD or Potlatch. AFAIK, these only allow one
background imagery at a time.
