[HOT] Help mapping non-mapped areas of Tajikistan

[Stéphane Henriod]

Dear all

I just realised that there was a typo in the URL for the imagery in my
first message...

The correct URL is:

http://humadat.alwaysdata.net/tms/khorog/tiles/{zoom}/{x}/{-y}.jpg

(it was already correct in the Tasking Manager... only my email was wrong)

Sorry if some of you have tried to display it andhave received an error message

Best,

Stéphane
