The OrbView-3 imagery outlines are available in my github fork of Eugene's imagery coverage map: http://maning.github.com/Imagery_Coverage_Map/
Hover on the layer controller and click the OrbView-3 layer. Note that while some OrbView-3 is imagery overlaps with Bing and is more than 5 years old, you can still find a good number of gems to trace for OSM. Again, big tanks to jgc for making this imagery available to us. On Mon, Jun 4, 2012 at 9:26 PM, maning sambale <emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Many thanks jgc!
