Hi Mateusz, There are other providers who allow their imagery to be used for OSM mapping, like Mapbox for example, or major satellite imagery providers directly, specially in times of crises. Satellite imagery is useful in connection with roughly georeferenced AMS maps to check the accurate location of settlements. I was specifically referring to Bing imagery. Best regards, Jean-Guilhem -- "On ne m’ôtera pas de l’idée que, pendant la dernière guerre mondiale, de nombreux juifs ont eu une attitude carrément hostile à l’égard du régime nazi." Pierre Desproges "I won't be deprived of the idea that, during the last world war, many Jews had a downright hostile attitude toward the Nazi regime." _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
