Such a thing exists and is here: https://github.com/osmlab/editor-imagery-index It is used by iD and Potlatch, with JOSM output available but not installed by default. I'm happy to help anyone add their imagery. On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 11:36 AM, Darrell Fuhriman wrote: > Another useful tool mig

Re: [Talk-us] a plea to armchair mappers

Re: [Talk-us] a plea to armchair mappers

We need to make it more easier to load up-to-date imagery to our OSM editing applications. And I think something easy as publicizing the date of the imagery collection would get folks to do a double take before using older imagery. Kristen Sent from OWA on Android _
