[OSM-talk] Pre-disaster imagery of Pakistan Floods now available from SPOT

[Mikel Maron]

HOT, all,

Positive news from SPOT that their pre-disaster imagery of the flood affected 
area of Pakistan is now available for use in OSM.

The WMS url is 
http://www.geodatawork.net/__streaminguid.e30dcaa3-5929-4902-9834-12e6f51e1e7b/wms.ashx?

Before using the imagery, please review the legal agreement at 
http://www.youmapps.org/licenses/EULA-OSM-EN.html
Note that SPOT has authorized use in JOSM, Merkaartor, and Viking, but not 
Potlatch (I wasn't given a reason).

Hopefully this imagery proves useful in the base map. Please distribute this 
information to any interested mappers.

We're still working on other imagery sources, especially post-flooding.

Thanks
Mikel

Subject: Pre-disaster imagery for Pakistan floods

Hi Nicolas and Mikel,

Here is a WMS to a pre-disaster mosaic of the area : 
http://www.geodatawork.net/__streaminguid.e30dcaa3-5929-4902-9834-12e6f51e1e7b/wms.ashx?

It is rather old imagery (2008) but it is SPOTMaps specification, meaning that 
the horizontal accuracy is usually better than 7 m. (fully compatible with GPS)

Here is the license aggreement that users must accept and that specifically 
states that the extracted vectors can be integrated in OSM database. Any other 
uses are not permitted.

 
http://www.youmapps.org/licenses/EULA-OSM-EN.html
If you want to use the imagery with a larger group of people, the server might 
not be fast enough. Tell me and I will migrate the imagery to another.
Hope this helps. Tell me is this is usable for HOT.


Jeff.
