<div>This is long overdue, but I finally got round to it. I
added a page<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Maps/Belgium">https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Maps/Belgium</a><br>
<br>
with WMS sources for Belgium, for which we have permission
to use.<br>
<br>
So now there are 3 more entries on this page:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
</div>
The resolutions are all better than Bing. They are also more
recent.<br>
<br>
</div>
Is there somebody who knows a convenient way to add those
coordinates, so a shape is shown?<br>
<br>
AGIV also has coverage for Brussels, The Walloon imagery also
covers the German speaking part of Belgium.<br>

Well done, Jo. The only thing to do is now:<br>

<div>I don't know much about projections, but EPSG:4326 seems to
work just fine for all three.<br>

Projections are simple: a mathematical transformation of the Earth
surface to draw it on a plane (screen).<br>
EPSG:4326 uses the GPS coordinates (degrees) linearly (d ° NS/EW = c
cm vertically/horizontally).<br>
Cylindrical is the projection as if by light beams perpendicular to
the Earth axis.<br>
Mercator is the same but with a vertical correction so that the
polar regions are not flattened.<br>
These 3 are quickly transformed one to another with little CPU.<br>
Hence, JOSM, which normally uses Mercator on screen, can convert any
to its screen projection.<br>
<br>
The (Belgian) cartographers use Lambert projections which is similar
to cylindrical, but on a cone that is tangent to a line going across
their country (Belgium). This is so that the proportions of the
distances are the same vertically and horizontally. The Belgian
servers serve them too. In addition to EPSG:4326. Except SPW (<span
class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span>).<br>

I would add Wallonia 2009. It is sometimes useful (e.g. to get rid
of trees).<br>
Is it just a matter of editing the file? Have to refresh the
server?<br>
Can id=SPW be the same or what should be used?<br>
<br>
What is that (3.xxxxxx) after the name JOSM displays? Any way to get
rid of it?<br>
<br>
Cheers
