[talk-ph] Tactical Pilotage Charts available as a Layer for JOSM

[Mark Cupitt]

Dear All

We have just made the Tactical Pilotage Charts available for Humanitarian
Tracing and because I am in the Philippines, we decided to make them
available to Philippine Mappers Free of Charge. Whilst the maps are public
domain, our server costs are not, but hopefully this will help philippine
mappers to some degree by serving as a good reference for major roads water
bodies and places, etc.

To see them on line, go to http://disasternet.org Click on the Map Icon
(Click to Start), choose Menu -> Crisis -> TPC's

To access the layer in JOSM, add a WMS Layer with service url of

http://topo.disasternet.org/?

 ... (including the "?" in the end, no additional spaces)

and choose the World Statistical Pilotage Maps (Humanitarian Use Only)
Option then click Ok

You can then choose it as a background layer from the imagery Menu

We do reserve the right to remove it of the use gets too high, but I think
it will handle the load with JOSM caching with no issues

FYI, we hope to have the philippine Topos available at some stage as well,
but I am strung for time for trimming and geo - referencing them, if anyone
could help out, I would appreciate it. Let me know

Cheers
