2014-11-03 Thread Ray Kiddy
Hello - This is probably a somewhat basic question about editing for HOT tasks. As I have been editing in various HOT tasks, I have been adding something like source=Bing (where that is the imagery) onto every road, every building, every ... everything that I create. Need I bother with this? I
