[Talk-us] NJ Orthoimagery

[Bryan Housel]

Hey Ian that’s cool, I didn’t know this service was available.
Would you consider proxying the New Jersey high res orthos too from 2012-2013?
More info: https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/jviewer.jsp?pg=2012_OrthoImagery

Metadata for this layer is here:
https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/ShowMetadata.jsp?docId={DF49386A-73AC-4A1A-B6DC-13B769E176A4}
(their page indicates that there are no constraints on access or use, though a source acknowledgment is appreciated)

Their WMS server is here:

I've looked at the 1-foot imagery, and this seems to be sharper or equal quality than the Bing imagery in at least two areas. In addition, according to this page, only Canada and the border data is marked as "View only"; all other counties are public domain.
