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 the mean time: <BlakeGirardot> HERE IS THE FIRST PROJECT TO SUPPORT THE POLISH FIREFIGHTERS <BlakeGirardot> https://tasks.hotosm.org/contribute?difficulty=ALL&organisation=OSM-SE <BlakeGirardot> Please only share that link so if we have more or different projects, or priorities change, we do not have to worry about people following outdated links. That link will always be good. please let me know if you have any questions. (sorry copy pasted from #osm.se irc channel :) Respectfully, Blake On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at 12:41 PM, Mattias Lindblad <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
