Subject: [OSM-talk] Announce: new JOSM plugin for Yahoo satellite images
Hi all,
With this new plugin, you can now work with Yahoo satellite images inside JOSM, the same way the applet or the flash editor does. It is a port to java of the perl script that Frederik Ramm made a couple of months ago, so it uses the same approach: spawn a browser window that asks Yahoo the images using its API. However, this plugin works in windows too.
To use Yahoo imagery, follow this steps:
1.- Download and install YWMS from [1].
2.- Download and install/update WMS plugin from [2]. IMPORTANT!!: upgrade if you already have this plugin.
3.- Activate both plugins in JOSM and restart.
4.- In preference settings, Yahoo tab, set the path to firefox executable, the name of a new profile for firefox and click "create". This opens a new browser window. Click "Make changes" and accept the question. Close the browser.
5.- Go to your favorite area, and click the menu option "WMS -> Yahoo" .
6.- Enjoy
Any modern Gecko browser ([3]) should work, not only firefox. However, I have only tested firefox (>1.5.)
Regards,
Quico
