To realign base imagery with existing OSM data choose something at 
ground level, not multi-storey buildings.

Use major road junctions as they're more likely to be accurately 
detailed. Find one with offshoot roads in different directions. 
Roundabouts are ideal for this.

Position tall buildings at the ground position. Don't fall into the 
Parallax error trap:
