Re: [Talk-us] USGS Orthoimagery
The project for the common imagery sources is here: https://github.com/osmlab/editor-imagery-index You could enter an issue there to include this source so that it will be available in the various OSM editors. Before including it in the index, they will want to ensure that the source is properly licensed and has a bounding polygon around where the imagery is valid.

Re: [Talk-us] USGS Orthoimagery
Note that the OSM US server tiles and caches the USGS NAIP and High Res Orthos and more information can be found here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Servers/Imagery ...but the upstream USGS server that used to host this imagery seems to be broken (it's throwing 500's). I'm working on finding someone to talk to about that, but until then we'll have to find something else.

Re: [Talk-us] USGS Orthoimagery
In this case, should the caching server, the direct (WMS) server, or both be recommended? -- Saikrishna Arcot On Monday, July 07, 2014 01:54:48 PM Ian Dees wrote: Note that the OSM US server tiles and caches the USGS NAIP and High Res Orthos and more information can be found here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Servers/Imagery[1] ...but the upstream USGS server that used to host this imagery seems to be broken (it's throwing 500's).

Re: [Talk-us] USGS Orthoimagery
Unfortunately, the high-resolution imagery isn't available everywhere in the US yet, and Bing is better than the NAIP. -- Saikrishna Arcot On Sunday, July 06, 2014 08:28:27 AM Saikrishna Arcot wrote: Hi all, I noticed that there is a wiki page on the USGS High Resolution Orthoimagery[1], but that the link is outdated.
