In this case, should the caching server, the direct (WMS) server, or both be recommended?

I'm working on finding someone to talk to about that, but until then we'll have to find something else.

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.

The new resource to use is likely one of these[6] folders. I've looked at the 1-foot imagery, and this seems to be sharper or equal quality than the Bing imagery in at least two areas. In addition, according to this[7] page, only Canada and the border data is marked as "View only"; all other counties are public domain. Is there any reason this imagery can't be used in OSM, and perhaps even be added as one of the pre-existing imagery sources in JOSM? -- Saikrishna Arcot_______________________________________________Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org[8] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us[9] Talk-us@openstreetmap.org[8] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us[9] -------- [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Servers/Imagery [2] mailto:br...@7thposition.com [3] https://github.com/osmlab/editor-imagery-index [4] mailto:saiarcot...@gmail.com [5] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/USGS_High_Resolution_Orthoimagery [6] http://isse.cr.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/Orthoimagery [7] http://cumulus.cr.usgs.gov/listofortho.php [8] mailto:Talk-us@openstreetmap.org [9] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
