[OSM-talk] zoom yahoo data in potlatch?

[David Muir Sharnoff]

You're right: that OAM imagery is very detailed.   Unfortunately, it's not that
good where I'm mapping.   In Oakland, California, Yahoo! has two zoom
levels beyond what Potlatch will display.   It would be very helpful to me if
Potlatch would display those zoom levels.   Google has one (or two) more
beyond Yahoo!

Richard, can you add the please?
