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

[Jan Laporte]

Yes, it will be free for download in vector format, even without registration on the AGIV-website. Similar to the availability of CRAB.
Same for the webservices.

That is indeed great news! Does it mean we'll be able to use the building outlines/contours as well then, in the foreseeable future? And, if so, would they be available as vectors/shape files, like in the UrbIS dataset? Or am I mistaken and is that in CRAB and not in GRB?
