[talk-au] NSW LPI layers in JOSM was Re: Explicit Permission to use NSW Land and Property Information data in JOSM

[Andrew Davidson]

Having done a bit of reading I think it may be more polite to use the TMS version of the layers. It would appear that the WMS version requires processing on the server side where as the TMS version is just pointing to pre-rendered images. 
The base map address is below in Cam's email. The corresponding set up for the aerial imagery is to add a TMS server with:
http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Imagery/MapServer/tile/{zoom}/{y}/{x}.jpg
maximum zoom: 21

Note that despite the service advertising a maximum zoom of 21 the real limit seems to be 20.

 Wow, this is like an early xmas present :-D
- I'm super-happy to get access to missing street names around Sydney
for OSM.

 
 QUESTION
How do I get this imagery into JOSM?! They have one access in javaGIS ... A simple explanation ?
 
 In JOSM, go to: Edit --> Preferences, WMS TMS tab, in the bottom right
click on "+ TMS" icon.
URL:
http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Base_Map/MapServer/tile/{zoom}/{y}/{x}.png
maximum zoom: 19
The generated TMS URL should look like:
tms[19]:http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Base_Map/MapServer/tile/{zoom}/{y}/{x}.png
Layer name: NSW LPI

Then you're done :-)

Cam.

 
 
  :-D          Happy Happy!! 
 
 Thank you and well done cleary and Cam.

 Think more on the LPI request for acknowledgement.. how about putting it on the source tag? 
 For example ...
 source=Land and Property Information NSW Australia, December 2015 by Warin61 
 
 It includes the name for the source, the date of entry and by who. Bit long! 
 Could Land and Property Information NSW Australia be abbreviated to LPI NSW Australia? It is their web URL, google finds it nicely. 
 
 Why? 
 the name gives you where it came from
 the date gives you when
 the author gives you who
 
 Some may say;
 a) the date should be the date of the data ... the 'common' mapper may not know that .. may get it wrong. So use what they will know and get right.
 b) you can get this from the history ... yes and no. Yes from the original entry, No if someone changes it from the original and uses the same data source name but with updated data .. what changes in the source tag? Nothing? 
 
 I might put this on the OSM Golgafrincham B arc list otherwise called the OSM tagging list...
 
 Have a good (mapping) Xmass all.
