[OSM-talk] How do I get higher-resolution imagery in JOSM?

[Toby Murray]

I assume because 18 is what is available in most of the world and most
people prefer to be able to overzoom aerial imagery a little instead
of getting blank tiles. What would be slick is if the blank tiles
could be automatically detected and then previous imagery overzoomed
instead of displaying the blank tiles.
