Hi all,

I am sure you all know of this already but, if anyone wants to double
check and make sure no new layers have been added that might help your
mapping:

If anyone knows how to add WMTS imagery to JOSM, you can explore this
list of available layers:

https://api.lantmateriet.se/open/topowebb-ccby/v1/wmts/token/9b342b7d9f12d4ddb92277be9869d860/?request=getcapabilities&service=wmts


Cheers,
blake
