Hi, After two aerial images over Abidjan, SPOT has released a new image for Openstreetmap in Ivory Coast. It covers the border area with Liberia, as many internal displaced people are moving there according to reports. Quality is very decent and it is easy to trace is a not too dense area. This image is also an application case for French students trained by Nicolas Chavent on OSM/HOT, which have already done a great job of tracing/village naming. I will let him tell more about that.
Tracing is allowed in JOSM and Merkaartor but not Potlatch. The source tag is "2009 Cnes / Spot Image" The WMS URL for use in JOSM is : http://ws.spotimage.com/spotlive/wms/594c4e05-0160-41b8-908e-8331305dcefc?FORMAT=image/jpeg&VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&Layers=spotlive&; More details are on the wiki : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/En:WikiProject_Ivory_Coast Thanks -- Frédéric Bonifas +33672652807 skype:fredericbonifas _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
