[Talk-ca] Aerial imagery for Nanaimo, BC

[Tim Whitehead]

There is also an Opendata plugin that can be added for some of the formats

 

I am not familiar with all the formats available – Shape (SHP), Keyhole
(KML) can be opened directly in the achieve they are downloaded in– I would
create a new layer first, and it’ll prompt you for what you want to open
(I,e, road centre lines, sidewalks, etc).

If you wanted to use the tiff file… I do not believe they supply a world
file in the achieve so you would need something like the Piclayer plugin (I
believe)

And how do I do that?  How do I import that data, both ways and photos,
into JOSM?
