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

[Sander Deryckere]

Just got a reply from Camilla @ Mapbox, apparently, they were already
looking into adding the Agiv imagery.

I appreciate the info you've provided with regards to the Flanders imagery.

So that will make it very easy for iD and Potlatch users to switch to
better imagery. No reason to look into TMS proxies. And even a probably
faster server for free ;)
