[HOT] Need help for Walking papers / Field papers...

[Kate Chapman]

Hi Thomas,

Unfortunately the scanning on Walking Papers hasn't worked in almost a year.

As for Field Papers I think there is a way to add it into JOSM, but it
is not just a matter of using a plugin. You would need to figure out
the path to tiles for your scan. You can then add it as a TMS in the
JOSM settings under WMS/TMS. The format would look like this:
http://fieldpapers.org/files/scans/scan_id/%7Bzoom%7D/%7Bx%7D/%7By%7D.jpg

Note: you need to replace "scan_id" with the ID of your actual scan.
That is what "id=" in your url when viewing the scan for example the
ID of this scan: http://fieldpapers.org/snapshot.php?id=z5c738fw would
be "z5c738fw".

Hope this helps.

-Kate
