[talk-ph] using Philippine hires tms in josm (Fwd: [JOSM] #5660: add Philippine imagery in the slippymap plugin)

[maning sambale]

FYI,

If you remember, before Bing, we acquired several hires imagery
directly from imagery providers (digitalglobe and spot-asia) to
support humanitarian mapping in some areas:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Philippines/hires_imagery#Other_imagery_sources

Bing's imagery superseded many of these images.  However, I found out
that in some areas the imagery while probably the same, our own
imagery have better contrast resolution (see areas in Urdaneta,
Pangasinan).  You can continue using these imagery in JOSM.  Frederik
Ramm added the Philippines TMS as one of the imagery choices:
