OpenStreetMap: Ticket #518: Landsat background <p> A landsat background layer would be useful for places which don't have Yahoo! coverage (which less face it is most of the world). In fact, it should be the default layer. </p> en-us OpenStreetMap Trac 1.2 Cameron Wed, 26 Sep 2007 18:26:06 GMT cc set <ul> <li><strong>cc</strong> <em>Cameron</em> added </li> </ul> <p> This is fixed isn't it? </p> Ticket richard@… Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:00:18 GMT status changed; resolution set <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> changed from <em>new</em> to <em>closed</em> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> set to <em>wontfix</em> </li> </ul> <p> Implementing Landsat would require a whole new tiling engine for Potlatch, and is therefore outside the scope of immediate development. (The Yahoo background is implemented with the pre-built Yahoo component and therefore cannot be adapted.) </p> <p> Long-term plans for Potlatch do include a tiled image background, principally for NPE scans, but this won't be for a good while. </p> <p> Until then it's worth pointing out that the default Yahoo background (i.e. zoom level 13) <em>is</em> actually colour-corrected Landsat. A quick-and-dirty workaround which some people have tried is to use Flash's own right-click contextual menu to zoom in on this level, rather than Potlatch's own zoom control. </p> Ticket
