Is it possible to draw over the Bing street maps instead of the Bing sat maps while using JOSM? I don't need a sat image because I'm tracing a route that has been drawn in Bing street. |

As stated here in the wiki, "the only legal use of Bing maps is to use the aerial imagery layer as background to do your own OSM drawing (also known as "tracing"). It is not legal to use any other information from Bing maps (like street names, street view etc). " 1
Thanks for your advice. I didn't know it was an illegal use of Bing informations. I will use aerial imagery as background for tracing, then.

The legal FAQ could also be helpful - it's one of the core principles of OSM that we're not allowed to copy maps that others have made, as maps are copyrighted. 1
An exception is the old 50 years+ out of copyright GB Ordnance Survey that we can see in the choice of editor backgrounds. It's called the NPE or "new popular edition"
