OpenStreetMap
There is no legally available aerial photography that I know of over my home town of Lindesberg in Sweden (I was born there but don't live there anymore). After endlessly trying to find a good way to map the town without being able to properly GPS-track streets etc. I'm progressing extremly slowly. I'm starting to get frustrated. I know I'm not alone in this, I just read TripleBees diary (osm.org/user/TripleBee/diary/14526).
I now call out to anyone:
-Do you know of any free areal photograpy of Sweden?
(Bing and Yahoo! does not cover the area)
-Anyone knows if there is any free geographical data that is available for Sweden?
(Perhaps the local "kommunen" can provide something?)

-Any help at all is appreciated!
("How to make your own areal photography" perhaps?)
Happy Mapping!
