OpenStreetMap
View in JOSM with others (Google Maps, Satellite...) Layers
Posted by Djinni Fam on 18 October 2010 in English.Hi, all
I want to compare OSM graph map with other public maps, such as Google Maps, by view other layer map behind OSM graph in JOSM.
I tried Slippy and WMS plugin but no one of them can view other map layer perfectly.
Any suggest?
Best regard,

but you know, that its not allowed to copy the datas from google maps?

Ah, yes, i just want to compare with google map, because there some 1way streets, service highway, etc.... So i want to double check only. No data from google but just looking map and satellite image :D. So, is this legal?

AFAIK this is not possible in a easy way. The only thing you can use with JOSM is WMS and so Yahoo or Digital Ortho Photos by your local authorities
osm.wiki/Potential_Datasources
Or you use the mentioned services like
http://sautter.com/map/
http://geotribu.net/applications/baselayers/
http://maker.geocommons.com/maps/1784
But as mentioned it is a copyright violation to extract datas without permisson :(

just compare is legal.
But, if there are differences, the temptation will be big to fix these differences on the basis of google maps... and this is not legal.
So its not a good idea to compare the OSM-datas with google maps in JOSM. I think, its much better, if you compare it with http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/ or http://sautter.com/map/

Thanks all!
I'll be careful with those :D.
What a pity that those services do not support my country map (Vietnam) as much as Google :(

Well Djinni I guess that there is some kind of federal institution that collects geodata in vietnam. I'm pretty sure that they offer there geodata infastructure (GDI) as a WMS service to their citizens.
