<br>
The treeless images that were in bing were sourced from MassGIS.<br>
ArcGIS.com hosts many MassGIS data sets as tiles. You can see them<br>
here.<br>
<br>

<br>
To get the treeless tiles back, add this to your image preferences in JOSM.<br>
<br>
tms:<a href="http://tiles3.arcgis.com/tiles/hGdibHYSPO59RG1h/arcgis/rest/services/USGS_Orthos_2013_2014/MapServer/tile/{zoom}/{y}/{x}" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://tiles3.arcgis.com/<wbr>tiles/hGdibHYSPO59RG1h/arcgis/<wbr>rest/services/USGS_Orthos_<wbr>2013_2014/MapServer/tile/{<wbr>zoom}/{y}/{x}</a><br>
<br>
Substitute USGS_Orthos_2013_2014 with any of the layer names listed at<br>
this page to use other layers.<br>

MassGIS just purchased very new images for the state from google.<br>
Google has restricted its use and we can't use them from JOSM, but It<br>
looks like viewing the images in Oliver is ok.<br>
