Comment on DigitalGlobe satellite imagery launch for OpenStreetMap

Darn... Doesn't look like this is in a JOSM [1] release yet. Really, really looking forward to this. (Mapping areas near my house, especially parks, is something that I find to be a great way to relax in the evenings.)

It should be available in the JOSM imagery settings (they are global layers so have to manually be added to imagery menu).

There is a button in the dialog to pull the latest layer list from the JOSM website (that also happens at startup).

yes, coming to JOSM soon. I have been working with the JOSM developer team. Stay tuned.

Excellent; thank you! JOSM / OSM is the basis for a lot of mountain bike trail mapping work that I do. Another source of imagery will just be cake. (GPS traces only go so far...)
