Hi, I'm newbie on OSM and as I can see we have only Yahoo imagery as<br>
base to map some cities on Brasil (only some bigger ones)<br>
Recently I read on wiki that a service called nearmaps host maps to<br>
be used on OSM.<br>
I know a service on Brazil that have some ortophotos free, all can use<br>
it (services that use the images only need to specify that images are<br>
from IBGE source)<br>
I would like to ask if OSM or anyone can host this images to be used on OSM.<br>
The images are here:<br>
<a href="ftp://geoftp.ibge.gov.br/mapas/ortofoto/" target="_blank">ftp://geoftp.ibge.gov.br/mapas/ortofoto/</a><br>
<br>
Will be great to Brazilian users if we have this images as base to add<br>
streets and places on OSM.<br>
Hope someone can host it, thanks.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm working on downloading the images and will attempt to host them in the near future. Let me (and the list) know if you find alternate hosting.<br></div></div>
