DigitalGlobe Satellite Imagery Launch for OpenStreetMap

Thanks for sharing this update. Havin access to higher quality imagery must have made mapping in many areas much easier. Looking back now, it’s interesting to see how much of an impact this had on the OpenStreetMap community.

Why use OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps ?

Thanks for sharing your survey. It’s intresting to see how much additional detail can be gathered from being on the water rather than relying solely on aerial imagery. The notes about the locks and mooring places were especially informative.

Thanks for documenting the survey. It’s always interesting to see field mapping outside of roads and buildings. I espceially liked the notes about the locks and mooring places it shows how valuable on the ground observations are compared with relying only on aerial imagery.
