[talk-ph] new high-res images available from digitalglobe

[Totor]

Hi,

To display the high-res images in Merkaartor :

1. Find and edit the TmsServersList.xml file. 
(in the ~\.merkaartor folder for linux systems)
2. insert this just before the </TmsServers> line :

  <TmsServer minzoom="14" maxzoom="19" path="/~gravitystorm/imagery/philippines/%1/%2/%3.png" address="dev.openstreetmap.org" name="Pangasinan" tilesize="256" />

3. The end of the file should now look like this:

  <TmsServer minzoom="0" maxzoom="17" path="/tiles/1.0.0/openaerialmap-900913/%1/%2/%3.png" address="tile.openaerialmap.org" name="OpenAerialMap" tilesize="256" />
  <TmsServer minzoom="14" maxzoom="19" path="/~gravitystorm/imagery/philippines/%1/%2/%3.png" address="dev.openstreetmap.org" name="Pangasinan" tilesize="256" />
 </TmsServers>
</MerkaartorList>


4. save and start Merkaartor
5. Select the menu "Layers", then "add new image layer"
6. Select the menu "Layers", then "Map-none", "TMS-Adapter", and last "Pangasinan".

The image should now appear (very slowly) when you download the San Fabian area. (you might have to disable other image layers)


I don't know how to re-align the image. You should be able to select then move mapped elements but that has some weird effects on my version so upload before you move...(some highways moved wrongly, and could not be selected anymore making recovery very difficult)


cheers,

Totor
