http://gravitystorm.dev.openstreetmap.org/imagery/philippines/

Using in Potlatch

You can switch to it mid-editing by going to the settings and pasting in the custom tile URL:

http://gravitystorm.dev.openstreetmap.org/imagery/philippines/!/!/!.png

Using in JOSM

1. Get the the "Slippy Map" plugin. Preference >> Plugins. Restart JOSM.

</tt>http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~gravitystorm/imagery/philippines/</tt>

You can set the maximum level to 19. Restart JOSM

3. The slippy map layer should be activated when you download some data within the boundingbox above.

Using in Merkaartor

1. Find and edit the TmsServersList.xml file. (in the ~\.merkaartor folder for linux systems)

2. insert this just before the </TmsServers> line :

<TmsServer minzoom="14" maxzoom="19" path="/~gravitystorm/imagery/philippines/%1/%2/%3.png" address="dev.openstreetmap.org" name="Pangasinan" tilesize="256" />

3. The end of the file should now look like this:

<TmsServer minzoom="0" maxzoom="17" path="/tiles/1.0.0/openaerialmap-900913/%1/%2/%3.png" address="tile.openaerialmap.org" name="OpenAerialMap" tilesize="256" />
<TmsServer minzoom="14" maxzoom="19" path="/~gravitystorm/imagery/philippines/%1/%2/%3.png" address="dev.openstreetmap.org" name="Pangasinan" tilesize="256" />
</TmsServers>
</MerkaartorList>

4. save and start Merkaartor
