Hi, 

This is great !

I checked Negros, Cebu and Bohol islands.
No high resolution coverage, except for Cebu city...

Cheers.

2010-12-14 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
Martijn has updated his tool for determining the date of the Bing
imagery. Now you can see how many more zoom levels are there. I think
this may make it easier to spot more Bing imagery in the Philippines.

For example here is Puerto Galera:

Check you've got josm-latest rather than josm-tested. I'm guessing it hasn't 
made it through to the tested version yet.

Sorry. :)

This is because at the time that you have initially downloaded josm,
the bing slippy option is disabled in the win installer because of the
pending legal blah.

I suspect that when you downloaded the win installer again, the
legalese is now OK.

In the  Preferences-SlippyMap>Tile Sources>Bing Aerial Maps, set the
max zoom level to 21 or higher.  The default was z18.

2010-12-07 Thread Rally de Leon
Ed,
It took me nearly a week of (re)downloading josm-latest.jar before I
saw in JOSM's
Preferences-SlippyMap>Tile Sources>Bing Aerial Maps

btw, i'm using it on windows. The maning's simple instruction of
simply downloading josm-latest.jar did not work for me earlier. I had
uninstalled the josm windows installer, & installed the plain
josm-latest.jar... didn't work.

In one of the desperate moves, i even deleted the Application Data on
C:\Documents and Settings\rally\Application Data\JOSM
didn't work at first.

but then, after downloading the latest version again, I finally saw
Bing on JOSM version 3695, and I'm still clueless what happened and
how I did it. :-)

I still have to figure out how to zoom in way down to a closer look of
street level in josm. Bing imagery tend to disappear below 80meter
zoom level. (i don't mind seeing pixelized image as long as I can see
the silhouette of street)

Hello Anthony,

I successfully added the Imagery plugin and it seems to work (I can see
Imagery item on the main menu)   But, I may be missing a step here... I
could not see the Bing Sat option from the Imagery menu items on the main
menu.  All I can see are the Landsat / Landsat (mirror) / Yahoo Sat /
Rectified Image / Blank Layer.  How to I "add" Bing to the options?

thanks

Hi Noli,

You may want to fire up a bit your josm using this little tweak
> java -Xmx512m -jar josm-latest.jar

I installed the "imagery" plugin instead, and its working great you may
give it a try (a josm restart is necessary after installing a new
plugin).

After that, just simply download map from osm (3rd from left on the menu
icons), box your area of interest (not so large otherwise you get an
error).  By default it will download only osm data but i suggest you
tick the "raw gps data" to pull the gps data from the db as well.  After
both were download, click "Imagery" from the main menu then choose Bing
Sat.  Now you're good to go :)

How do I start traces Bing Maps Imagerty (e.g. Iligan) using JOSM.

Steps
1. Download the latest josm-latest.jar
2. In terminal (linux)
> java -jar josm-latest.jar
3. Install wmsplugin (for Bing Maps)

What is next to do?

4.File -> New New Layer?
5.
6.
7,

Any short tutorial?

I watched the JOSM videos by Steve Coast. It seems not applicable to
tracing maps.

Thanks.

Hi Anthony,

Yes, we are already allowed to trace from Bing. Please do check up if
the imagery aligns with GPS tracks and adjust the offset if needed
before tracing.

We should also check whether the imagery is aligned correctly.

I looked at Calamba and the imagery seems to be shifted WNW by around
5 meters compared to the numerous GPS traces.
