The iD editor documentation (http://learnosm.org/en/editing/id-editor/) says that you can apply a custom background to the editor (which would be really useful for Central America where we have very little aerial imagery). It further suggests using a "snapshot" template from fieldpapers.org. How do you actually create a snapshot URL? |

So apparently a snapshot is a map that you print out(!), write stuff on, and then scan(!) back into fieldpapers.org. Surely, there must be an easier way to create a custom background for the iD editor. All I want is to use their aerial imagery. Anyone have any advice?
please take care of the aerial imagery license. I cannot see any hint about from where it is and if (any why) it is allowed to be used for tracing (for OSM).
Looks like it doesn't matter anyway since when you create the PDF of the altas (the first step in creating a snapshot), it strips out all the aerial imagery anyway (likely due to licensing issues).
