When I edited the map, I saw the Bing Satellite image. Now when I look in a new window or ask someone else to look, all they can see it the plain road map and the edits that I have made show uip poorly in comparison to the Bing version. I cannot see a layer to turn on. Sorry but what am I missing please? asked 03 Jun '15, 18:01 helidave |
You could use OSM in Google Earth to see OSM with a satellite picture background. You can play with transparency or different styles for best results. The Mapbox sat pic request page also shows some OSM data over a sat pic. I don't know any dedicated mapviews that do this though. It would be a nice one for osm.org answered 04 Jun '15, 13:03 joost schouppe Thanks. I have been updating the map and will try layers next as a way of showing the public what is happening on neighbourhood planning for our village. If it cannot show the satellite imagery on our website, I will have to be content for just the basic map to show. Thanks again.

As you wrote, the Bing aerial images are only available during edit. Your friend is probably looking at the area on openstreetmap.org in "view"-mode. We have the rights to use Bing images to trace, but that's it. Openstreetmap.org has no functionality to show arial images. And as far as I know there are no plans to add this functionality. answered 03 Jun '15, 18:04 escada Thank you. I hadn't appreciated that.
