[OSM-talk-be] WMS (aerial) imagery covering Belgium, now conveniently packaged for adding it to JOSM

[Jan Laporte]

GRB currently is in the process of becoming open data. The agreement is signed and official. Only the GRB-decree needs to be edited now before it effectively is open data. I can unfortunately not give a timing for that.

In any case, it’ll be allowed quite soon.

cheers

We should focus on efforts in getting GRB to open up.  I'm terribly

frustrated by people deleting buildings using Bing while I have added

all new buildings using Agiv, doublechecked using GRB and addressed

properly only to find out that the get deleted by some oblivious user.
If I understand well, GRB is the digitalized map and it is not allowed.
Belgium is a strange country.
In the north, they're able but not allowed to use it.
In the south, they are allowed to use it but unable to (no WMS 4326).
We should focus on adding to SPW Arcgis the few configuration lines I've shown.
That's all there is to it unless the Arcgis doc is deceiving.

Cheers

There is no such thing as security by obscurity.  At the very least,

give them the option.

It's possible to have people sign an EULA. Would that help? I'd need to

know what the restrictions are though. I thought we were just not

supposed to copy their building outlines. I guess the parcel outlines

are off limits as well, but I don't see those with the paramters I provided.



I'd love to support iD as well, but why can't they program support for

WMS? Why can't  they be as flexible as possible? It's absurd that we'd

have to setup a server to convert from WMS to TMS or have iD users use

older imagery than the enlightened users of JOSM. It almost seems easier

to try and peel people away from the 'dark side'.

    Jo, I'm not sure that the GRB layer should be part of the default

    layer set. It becomes too dangerous people will use it without

    reading about the limitations.
