What a great discussion, thanks Laura for your meaningful question and thanks to you all for your inputs. Laura: As a summary of what Blake explained, you should use both imageries for project #591. 1. First use Bing as a reference for alignment and do the first pass with most of the mapping; 2.

Hi Charlotte, Welcome :) Also in the comments sometimes people put the offsets, although note I am not aware of a way to feed iD numerical offsets (I used iD for a day or so then went to JOSM) I usually align to the osm features as best as possible as this *should* result in the most accurate at
