ok so i’m trying to understand the structure of the whole OSM project. i generally like it but it’s confusing and i’m confused.
i’m specifically looking for satellite image data (landscape as seen from above, no infrastructure data, just real photography). i like satellite images a lot because it provides a much better feel for the landscape than infrastructure data alone. such as: how many trees are there, how much nature is there around, …
does OSM itself do this? (ideally without having to be logged in)
i found OpenMapTiles which seems to also provide satellite data; but i’m not sure what their relation to OSM is. are they a separate project?




@schnurrito @gandalf_der_12te an ‘open mosaic’ has been done multiple times however a) it is a lot of work and cost even if the imagery is “free”, b) while there is a lot of high res (that is 30cm or better nominal resolution) data available most of the world isn’t covered.
Do you have an example of that?
