OpenStreetMap
I have some problems, the default satellite background supported by Yahoo is not zoom-able in my country.
I have found a way to switch from default to costume, I would like to have Google maps while editing, but I don't the costume adress that need to be introduced.
Could somoeone send me some help via personal messaging?
Thanks.

Since the Google maps are copyrighted and we have no permisson by the copyright holders to use them for mapmaking you mustn't copy them. If Yahoo imagery is all you have then you have to rely on classic tracing the streets yourself with a GPS etc. You can also help the project by editing in areas where the yahoo imagery is better, or you can import other free datasources (see the wiki)
Happy mapping, Christian
