[OSM-newbies] Map Editing: using your own layers

[David Fawcett]

Brian,

If you see significant errors, you may want to contact the local OSM
group at:  http://groups.google.com/group/map-minnesota

I am not sure which MNDOT services you are using, but there are some
good hi-res WMS available from the state geospatial office (OSM
Compatible):  http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/wms/wms_image_server_layers.html


There is also some very nice leaf off imagery for Hennepin County.

to Ian Dees.

David.
