[OSM-newbies] How to use Open Location in JOSM

[Dan S]

Hi,

When you see a URL that has those placeholders in - {x} and {y} and {zoom}
- that's not a file to be opened, but a "pattern" that can be used to show
a layer map tiles. In JOSM you choose menu option "Imagery > Imagery
Preferences" and hopefully you can find your way through the dialog to add
that URL as a new type of imagery layer. Then once that's done, you access
the layer the same way as you would access the bing layer, by choosing it
in the imagery list.

Best
Dan
