[OSM-talk] Heads up to all crisis mappers

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,

All of these maps can actually be warped using
http://warper.geothings.net/
The software will automatically create a JOSM wms layer link.
I have no idea if these maps provide any more detail than what is currently
available.   But this is 1 option to explore.
Unfortunately, im not yet proficient at warping, otherwise i would convert a
few of these maps myself.

Cheers,
Sam
