Good Afternoon,

I’ve been passively following this thread, as well as the thread for “USGS 
Orthoimagery”.

http://gis.apfo.usda.gov/arcgis/rest/services/NAIP

I’ve been using the USDA NAIP imagery services for nearly a year now with no 
problems. But today, I’m getting errors when trying to use their WMS in JOSM. I 
should also add that the www.usda.gov site is down.

Just passing observations along.



Best,

Kristen

Ian,

I can put you in contact with the people in charge of the map servers at the 
USGS.  There has been some turnover in the position recently, so things have 
been a bit mixed up.  In the meantime, The National Map uses the following 
link: 
http://basemap.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/USGSImageryOnly/MapServer

Bryan,

Thanks for this NJ data, it may come in handy!

Hey Ian that’s cool, I didn’t know this service was available.
Would you consider proxying the New Jersey high res orthos too from 2012-2013?
More info: 
https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/jviewer.jsp?pg=2012_OrthoImagery

Metadata for this layer is here:
https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/ShowMetadata.jsp?docId={DF49386A-73AC-4A1A-B6DC-13B769E176A4}<https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/ShowMetadata.jsp?docId=%7BDF49386A-73AC-4A1A-B6DC-13B769E176A4%7D>
(their page indicates that there are no constraints on access or use, though a 
source acknowledgment is appreciated)

Their WMS server is here:

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.

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.

Hi all,


I noticed that there is a wiki page on the USGS High Resolution 
Orthoimagery<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/USGS_High_Resolution_Orthoimagery>,
 but that the link is outdated. The new resource to use is likely one of 
these<http://isse.cr.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/Orthoimagery> 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<http://cumulus.cr.usgs.gov/listofortho.php> 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?
