The US Forest Service offers geotiff images for the US. These topo images contain creeks, rivers, Forest Services Road and other features desirable in OSM The images are a better quality than the ones available in josm. They are easily imported into josm for tracing. However, they are not perfect. If the images had a transparent background they could be used along with the Bing images. Much like the TIGER2011 images available in josm.
Forest Services Web site: fsgeodata.fs.fed.us/rastergateway/states-regions/states.php After converting the images to have a transparent background, they do not load into josm. The failure is lack of memory with a suggestion to assign more memory to java. Even assigning all available memory still doesn't allow the images to load. Each image is around 10 to 14 megs, only slightly larger than the original. Has anyone else run into this problem and found a fix? The modified images appear to be correct. They load okay in QGIS.
