FYI, If you remember, before Bing, we acquired several hires imagery directly from imagery providers (digitalglobe and spot-asia) to support humanitarian mapping in some areas: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Philippines/hires_imagery#Other_imagery_sources
Bing's imagery superseded many of these images. However, I found out that in some areas the imagery while probably the same, our own imagery have better contrast resolution (see areas in Urdaneta, Pangasinan). You can continue using these imagery in JOSM. Frederik Ramm added the Philippines TMS as one of the imagery choices: http://www.flickr.com/photos/esambale/5802755754/in/photostream ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: JOSM <t...@josm.openstreetmap.de> Date: Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 9:11 PM Subject: Re: [JOSM] #5660: add Philippine imagery in the slippymap plugin To: #5660: add Philippine imagery in the slippymap plugin -------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: emmanuel.sambale@… | Owner: framm Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: minor | Component: Plugin slippymap Version: latest | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | -------------------------------+------------------------------- Changes (by stoecker): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed -- Ticket URL: <http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/5660#comment:2> JOSM <http://josm.openstreetmap.de> Java Openstreetmap Editor -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
