How do I start traces Bing Maps Imagerty (e.g. Iligan) using JOSM.
Steps
1. Download the latest josm-latest.jar
2. In terminal (linux)
> java -jar josm-latest.jar
3. Install wmsplugin (for Bing Maps)
What is next to do?
4.File -> New New Layer?
5.
6.
7,
Any short tutorial?
I watched the JOSM videos by Steve Coast. It seems not applicable to
tracing maps.
Thanks.
