Using custom Mapbox layers for mapping missing features in JOSM

ایہہ ؜26؍؜December ؜2015ء‬ English وچ «pratikyadav» لیکھ چھپیا گیا سی۔

I prefer staying on JOSM while mapping and try to find missing features using satellite imagery. This becomes hard sometimes as one has to download OSM data to actually see if that feature (building, road, waterway etc) is present or not. To make this a little simple, I use custom Mapbox layers made using Mapbox Studio Classic.

The url of the layer created will be something like https://api.mapbox.com/v4/pratikyadav.93f1df6f/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoicHJhdGlreWFkYXYiLCJhIjoiMTA2YWUxNjRkNmFmZGQ4YzAxZWFiNDk0NDM1YjE1YjAifQ.4P6N5dNmA_WQXd3BsJvu5w#14/23.2687/77.3938

Add tms[99]: at the start of the layer url, remove zoom/lat/log from the end and replace page.html? with {zoom}/{x}/{y}.png?.

The new TMS url ready to be used in JOSM will look something like this-

tms[99]:https://api.mapbox.com/v4/pratikyadav.93f1df6f/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoicHJhdGlreWFkYXYiLCJhIjoiMTA2YWUxNjRkNmFmZGQ4YzAxZWFiNDk0NDM1YjE1YjAifQ.4P6N5dNmA_WQXd3BsJvu5w

Open imagery preferences in JOSM and use add new tms tab to add the layer url and layer name.

Have you looked into creating JOSM colour styles? It looks like that would be a more efficient way of doing it.

@Stereo not sure if we can use color styles without downloading the data in JOSM. The idea behind using these layers was to visualize features as a semi-transparent layer without downloading the OSM data.

Pratikyadav: IMO, it would be better to serve these layers on a browser site, with links to edit in JOSM, iD or P2.

Something similar to http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/ or http://product.itoworld.com/map/main . But of course, with the imagery background, other features can be highlighted.

Sanderd17 : agreed with your suggestion, but the main purpose was to get custom layers for those who prefer staying is JOSM. I would definitely love to see someone using them for browser site.

I’d suggest using tms[19] instead of tms[99]. You don’t want JOSM to request the imagery for silly-high zoom levels.

thunbsup. Can you enrich the building layer with info if address is present or not?

A quick way for Visual QA using these layers on browser.

Hi pratikyadav,

Juste want today tu use your layer to update Cadastre in a french area, but i have this message when i add the layer on JOSM :

“Not Authorized : Invalid token”

So, I found another token somwhere, and then I have this message :

“Classic styles are no longer supported”

I found the way to change the url format to use this layer URL : tms[19]:https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/pratikyadav.332dd523/tiles/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png?access_token={your_token}, but now I have this error :

no tile at this zoom level

Did you have any idea for resolv this problem?

Thank you!
