Re: [talk-au] Question about source of low-resolution NearMap images

If they're the Landsat/Blue Marble images that we use as the "rest of the world" layers where we don't have detailed PhotoMaps, then they are NASA data (see http://www.nearmap.com/legal/copyright). It's pretty easy to spot the difference, as in this

[talk-au] Question about source of low-resolution NearMap images

I'm working out whether I am able to accept the new OSM terms. I haven't used the detailed NearMap aerial photos, but what I have used is a low-quality image at zoom 13 and 14. I used these images for the Kiewa River in northern Victoria (this was before the detailed imagery for northern Vi

Cloudbase was at 1600' last time James looked at it, which is a bit too low; I just spoke to him and whilst we can fly at 1000' if we want (for a 1cm survey), the buildings in Brisbane are a bit higher than in Perth :) Last time (Wagga) we managed to go from takeoff to images online in 8 days. Not

Main water supply dam for Brisbane (Wivenhoe) was under 40% a few years ago, it hit 170% today because of all the flash flooding in and around Toowoomba. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Re: [talk-au] Massive flooding

I heard that they were planning to do flights up north a few days ago, but couldn't get flight permissions, what with the state of emergency. And in the southeast (actually, pretty much everywhere, today), you'd get lovely grey clouds right now. In fact, if you look at Brisbane, it hasn't been up

[talk-au] Massive flooding

Not sure how useful it'd be in Australia, but the massive floods all over Australia, except for the bush fires near Perth of course, might do well to map a lot of effected areas from Bing where coverage exists. It might be worth while trying to get additional coverage for areas effected for humani
