Any chance that New York State Orthos Online can be added to the image layers? (iD and JOSM both have it.) For the most part, it's newer imagery than the sources that are there. More important, it's 'leaves off' imagery, and a lot of the roads I've seen so far turn up in this are at most forest tracks and service ways, hard to see under the trees in summer. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
