[talk-au] NearMap PhotoMap imagery for OSM

[Alex Kwiatkowski]

Hi guys,

My names Alex and I work at Nearmap. I'm responsible for the Javascript
browser application so I can only answer a sub set of all the questions I
see here on the mailing list. I'll have to pass some of the salesy type ones
onto someone else.

In the areas we fly, we normally have images up to zoom level 21 or 22. In
some very rare areas we do return images at levels higher than this (e.g.
Perth CBD). The browser application @ www.nearmap.com allows you to zoom
into level 24 on all areas. It does this by scaling the images up from a
lower level on the client side. So if you can zoom into level 24 it doesn't
necessarily mean you will be able to request images from level 24 in your
plugins.

I hope that helps some of you guys. I'm really excited that the OSM
community has got on board and already given us heaps of great feedback that
we're busily trying to schedule into our release plans :)
