Yes - they're an ESRI shop - it's arcserver 10. I had no idea they were
sharing out their data in this manner. It's actually quite shocking
considering if you look at their prices for data.
I've seen talk of a plugin for JOSM....and I've searched and haven't
found one. I figure this has the chance of happening more and more and
being a good problem - counties/cities sharing their data out...well -
at least imagery.
Anywho,
Randy
