OpenStreetMap
when i import picture as a layer from google map it look like big diference between yahoo map layer and google map layer, i try to transform picture but ain't looks good as i see.
that picture from google map is great resolution I need it cause i edit small towns there is plenty small street's i would like to edit, is there any tiles link with great resolution, on yahoo (sucks) i can see pixels when i zoom i lost the image...
how to solve prob????
thank's!!
kada importujem sliku kao lajer sa google mape velika je razlika od yahoo i google lajera, pokusao sam da deformisem sliku al nije to to, nikako se ne moze uklopiti.
ova google slika je u velikoj rezoluciji jer mi je potrebna u manjim gradovima sto preciznije ulice da editujem, ima li neki link koji mi moze pomoci jer yahoo bukvalno pixele i kockice pokazuje a kad se priblizi gubim image.
kako da rjesim problem!!
hvala!!

It isn't allowed to use google maps for editing the openstreetmap! Have a look at the term of use from google: http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/help/terms_maps.html and http://www.google.com/intl/en-us/help/legalnotices_maps.html

Sry as efred says: IT IS ILLEGAL
If you want to compare different maps (for QA) have a look at http://sautter.com/map/

Hi, i'm having the same problem... Yahoo imagery has not enough zoom to allow me drawing over it. How can i add and edit the streets of my town if there is no proper satellital imagery background? i can't draw on an empty space.. so please help...

OSM is an outdoor activity. Aerial (or satellite) imagery is used where the collection of GPS track is impossible, e.g. when mapping the contours of houses. So go grap a GPS reveiver which can log your path and start walking / riding / driving. After you have mapped the layout of the roads you can add POIs, e.g. setting waypoints on your GPS or using walking papers' excellent service. So stop armchair mapping and whining and get to know the real OSM.

Using Google images is illegal! Better do NOTHING than copying from Google!!!

dear friends thank you for all, but I find the way to solve this prob, well I take that illegal map get it as a layer and sketch the road and the street, as you say I wish that I have time to left my armchair drive 400 km get GPS, drive thru the town, sorry lads I don't have time for that, I'm helping my country and people who's living here, thanks to god I'm doing anything, if you going to visit this country you'll start to curse my country cause there is no GPS data..

The problem with using images without permission is that the copyright holder could get a court order to destroy the openstreetmap project if if his maps or images are copied. So by tracing images or maps without permission endangers the whole project.

By the way, it looks like you are from Bosnia & Herzegowina. It appears there is highres Yahoo! imagery available for Sarajevo at least.
