Hi Blake (and everyone else) Did we get any feedback after the last summer's HOT activities/tasks in Sweden? Did anyone use the updated maps? Best regards -- Christoffer Holmstedt ___ Talk-se mailing list Talk-se@openstreetmap.org

FYI, I'm in communication with Lantmäteriet regarding allowing OSM to use their aerial photos and terrain model (and possible more if we find use for it) for mapping the affected areas where the firefighters will be commissioned. It's been a bit troublesome getting in touch with the right people

The topowebb imagery is already predefined in JOSM. You simply open the imagery menu in JOSM when panning over Sweden. There are also other useful imagery predefined in JOSM and in iD, including the entire road network from Trafikverket. The Swedish mappers on this list may want to consider

Hi Blake, as I mentioned yesterday, I am more or less off-grid now, with no access to any computer, and limited access to my phone. :-/ I hope someone else has the possibility to request data from Lantmäteriet. /Mattias tis 24 juli 2018 kl. 14:51 skrev Blake Girardot : > Hi Mattias, > > Please

Hi all, If these task squares are too small please let me know I can re-create the project and make them 20 sq/km instead of the 5 sq/km they are now. But 20 sq/km is hard to "scan" in the editors so I felt 5 sq/km was as large as we wanted to go. respectfully, blake On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at

Hi Mattias, Please do let me know if you get access to the updated imagery. We would need what is called a "TMS Endpoint" or WMS or WTMS. There is an excellent WMS end point right now that could use someone investigating all the layers that are available, I will find it and share it here. In

I got a response from another source, who states that Lantmäteriet for a long time have tried to convince the Swedish government that Lantmäteriet should be able to open up geographical information in cases like this. With little success so far. So while it seems like a relatively low probability

Yes, personally I believe it would be most helpful if we could just get the Lantmäteriet HQ to give us permission to use their aerial imagery for this project. I would suggest that the project defines what data is desired (type of data and geographical extents) and try to get permission to use

Hi Mattias, I appreciate this information. My apologies you get this twice, I thought I was also sending it to the main talk-se list, so I am resending it. The issue here is that the folks requesting osm mapping is because they are used to working with OSM data. I will pass on the really

I started to add some roads around Kårböle about an hour ago, from NVDB. I've also added a few local names. However, Ekonomiska kartan does not seem to work for the area. For finding their way around, I guess roads and local names are most important? But I am a bit confused about the

The Swedish government agency (Lantmäteriet) should have aerial imagery of excellent quality (0.25 or 0.5 m resolution). Given the level of public support for the Polish firefighters, it should be a PR disaster for Lantmäteriet to decline a request for use of these images. Most Swedish students

Around 70 out of reported 144 Polish firefighters seems to be headed to Ljusdal (Kårböle) [1]. That would correspond to #01 Enskogen on the map Blake posted a link to in earlier email, some satellite images from Copernicus found at [2]. [1]
