It's not clear (IMO) from the metadata. Fortunately, it shouldn't matter. Do you have JOSM WMS urls to put in a josm config file for these? Well, not really... The example was from a dl:ed GeoTIFF. There's a link to the WMS capabilities description on this page: http://gisdata.usgs.gov/edc_catalog/fetch_layer_docs.php?LayerName=Boston,%20MA%200.15m%20%28Apr%202008%29 That has four Boston 15cm layers plus the Footprint layer. The latter works fine in JOSM/WMS, but the actual image layers don't. The image layers are specified as queryable=0, which I suspect may be why. They seem to load in QGis, though, which confuses me. Any ideas to get this working? Otherwise, perhaps we can download the GeoTIFFs and serve them with MapServer or something... -- Lars Ahlzen l...@ahlzen.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

I have noticed that recently (1-2 months?) the JOSM WMS config that I had for the 15cm and 30cm massgis imagery (I think same pictures, but massgis hosted) stopped working. It's possible there is something wrong with the newer josm builds. You being able to use them in qgis points to something josm-specific. pgpfbv1emfITn.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

It's very new here - much newer than the 2007 Yahoo imagery - it looks like it was taken in 2010. What is your JOSM WMS URL? To clarify, I use the USGS imagery for Hillsborough County Florida, and I use it in Merkaartor. I haven't figured out how to get it in JOSM, but I know there's supposed to be a way to do it. As an aside, I wish I could find the source of the Google Maps imagery here in Tampa. It was either taken in 2009 or 2010, and it looks like it was 2010. http://seamless.usgs.gov/products/listofortho.php ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

You only have to give it the server URL (in my case http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov:80/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Florida?) and it downloads the capabilities file and presents you with a list of layers. Merkaartor is nice in many ways. It also loads the USGS GeoTIFFs directly AFAIK. Unfortunately it's not stable on my machine... I'm sure it's just me not getting the URL right or something, but I've found Merkaartor acceptable so I never bothered. Biggest problem is that WMS is slw compared to TMS. I just had some success with JOSM/WMS. This URL seems to work: http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov:80/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Massachusetts?SERVICE=WMSVERSION=1.1.1STYLES=SRS=EPSG:4326FORMAT=image/pngBGCOLOR=0x00TRANSPARENT=trueLAYERS=BostonMA_0.15m_Color_Apr_2008_02REQUEST=map; That's the Boston 15cm layer, Area #2. (example area with coverage: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.17644lon=-70.95512zoom=17layers=B000FTF) The WMS plugin doesn't seem to download at full resolution, though. It's not bad, but I wonder if there's a way to convince it to do better... - Lars -- Lars Ahlzen l...@ahlzen.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
