EEA Urban Atlas and Corine background imagery now available in Josm
Ad
We now have European Environmental Agency (EEA) Corine 2006 and Urban Atlas data available as a background layer in Josm. You can also view these layers here: http://maps.openstreetmap.ie/eeamaps.html The layers are rendered using the EEA colour scheme for each class code so please see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ireland#Eu... for links to legends for their codes. You can use use these layers for tracing but you must attribute the source using source="EEA GMES Urban Atlas" or source="EEA Corine 2006" Urban Atlas is available for the following areas: * All of counties Dublin / Wicklow / Meath / Kildare * Cork City and outlying areas as far as Mallow, Fermoy, Middleton, Coachford, Bandon, Kilsale * Galway City * Waterford City * Belfast and large area of hinterland * Londonderry/Derry and hinterland Corine 2006 * All of the island of Ireland (UK data was recently published) Urban Atlas is much more detailed and accurate than Corine and also includes roads. While the roads align excellently with existing OSM data in most cases, I have noticed a few bogus roads and errors, so try to cross-reference with good gps traces or the new NLS map backgrounds. Urban Atlas Limerick is also due to published at some unknown stage and area should be sizeable - about 1.5 times the size of the Cork area. Donal

Am I right that this means there is no plan to import this automatically, but only by tracing manually? Many thanks, Andrew

Limerick LUZ (Larger urban Zone) covers Limerick City, Ennis, Nenagh, NewCastle West and Killmalock. You can view it here: http://maps.openstreetmap.ie/eeamaps.html?zoo... Enjoy! Donal> > Donal
