Orthofotos
Local orthofotos provided by "Vermessungsamt"
We are allowed to use the orthofotos provided by the Vermessungsamt of the city of Bern, see email.
Orthofotos are available from the web site of Bern.
In JOSM:
- configure the following WMS URL in the preferences: wms:http://map.bern.ch/arcgis/services/Orthofoto_2008/MapServer/WMSServer?FORMAT=image/jpeg&VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&Layers=0,1&STYLES=&SRS={proj}&WIDTH={width}&HEIGHT={height}&BBOX={bbox}
- configure the projection SwissGrid in the preferences
Bing
We are allowed to trace over Bing imagery covering Berne. It's recommended to use local orthofotos, though. Bing imagery and local orthofotos are not perfectly aligned. Please do not try to realign OSM data derived from local orthofotos with Bing imagery!
How to help
Report mapping errors
Please report errors or missing features on the map using OpenStreetBugs.
Surveying
Your help is welcome!
- update street names. If a street name is missing (please refer to missing street names in Bern) and you know it, then please let us know. The simplest way for you is to add the name using OpenStreetBugs - just create a marker at the appropriate position on the map and add the missing name.
- add points of interest. Do you know about schools, museums, public buildings, water parks, swimming halls, or sport areas? Just launch the online map editor Potlatch and add them to the map or create a marker in OpenStreetBugs.
Please note that Yahoo has now nice orthophoto in winter time for the city Bern and the Aare valley up to Thun. Unfortunately, it looks like it's not very well georeferenced, there is a 20-50 meters gap between GPS traces and orthophotos. Be carefull! Extent of Yahoo coverage.
GPS traces wanted
Please collect GPS traces in and around Bern and upload them to OSM. Make sure you add the tags Switzerland and Bern when uploading.
