München: Yahoo Aerial Images updated

Ich nutze Yahoo Aerial Images in JOSM (unter Linux).

Ich habe vor wenigen Tagen bemerkt, dass die Bilder neueren Datums sind (statt Baustellen nun fertige Häuser, ...).

Die neuen Bilder sind offenbar im Winter (ohne Schnee) gemacht (vorher wohl eher im Sommer), so dass man die Waldwege besser sehen kann.

Gleichzeitig ist der Westen (westlich Schloß Nymphenburg) auch in besserer Auflösung verfügbar.

Ich habe angefangen, den "Durchblick" bis Schloß Blutenburg mit Hilfe Yahoo Aerial Images zu mappen. Noch fehlen Straßennamen, aber in Kürze werde ich in der Gegend sein und selbiges nachholen.

Mapping with correct tags

Somebody did a great job mapping the forests and tracks south of Munich, Germany (the area south of Taufkirchen) using Potlach alpha.

But, unfortunatelly she/he used wrong tags:

key = track

instead of

highway = track

So, the forests appear on the map, but not the tracks :-))

I started to *add* this missing tag using JOSM (now visible with Osmarender),
but I must confess: it's a lot of work to do.

When starting to map, please read the HowTo for choosing tags:

otherwise your work could be in vain.
