<div>Have you checked whatever<br></div><div>there is an open issue proposing to<br></div><div>support imagery offset database in iD?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>19 Aug 2020, 11:11 by scolebourne@joda.org:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>So, I followed the links below and added an offset. But this simply<br></div><div>isn't a viable solution to the problem because it only works for JOSM<br></div><div>and not iD.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I managed to convince one mapper to type in the offset manually in iD<br></div><div>every time, but that is a horrible thing to ask new mappers to do,<br></div><div>very offputting. And now I can see Amazon mappers using an iD variant<br></div><div>that doesn't have the offset and moving all the roads as a result:<br></div><div> https://osmcha.org/changesets/89549551?aoi=758c7f2b-faca-44e5-acd2-0cb8c33034bd<br></div><div> https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/89549551<br></div><div>This is going to keep happening so long as OSM has multiple image<br></div><div>sources and multiple editors. Frankly I'm amazed that this isn't a<br></div><div>solved problem.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Having done some mapping across the country recently, it seems like<br></div><div>Bing is offset to the previous best imagery across the country, but by<br></div><div>varying amounts. Is there really no solution that can be applied to<br></div><div>the source Bing layer? Or should we all just accept Bing as golden?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Having added thousands of buildings and fixed roads to align to the<br></div><div>previous best imagery, I don't have a good solution to the problem,<br></div><div>and it is demotivating to think that others are going to come along<br></div><div>and move individual roads/buildings to align without considering the<br></div><div>bigger picture.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The only solution I can think of is to move all nodes in the area I've<br></div><div>worked on to match the new Bing (ie a mass edit).
