[OSM-talk] JOSM Hack Trick for DigitalGlobe Premium Dual Images (Avoid automatic switch to high-res at z18)

[Claire Halleux]

Thank you Pierre for the support, that's brilliant and works well in the
areas I crosschecked.
The second TMS entry only needs to be manually updated when the token is
updated, until Digital Globe gives us access to the most recent image at
the highest zoom levels.
