Yeah, the second discussion there points to the JOSM plugin “scanaerial” which is very hacky, hard to install, and only really for water bodies not roads. (It’s also temporarily broken at the moment; can only reach landsat not Bing.)

I’d be curious why that ‘never-deployed Potlatch 2 branch” didn’t happen, and if it was promising or not..

I’d seen Mapbox’s teaser as well, which is clearly still pretty researchy.

I’m going to try my own, more in next post..
