Please add support for Bavaria (WMS) DOP80 Germany

[geowOSM]

@bhousel, please consider adding support for Bavaria DOP80 in iD: http://www.geodaten.bayern.de/ogc/ogc_dop80_oa.cgi?
It’s the best imagery (Bavarian State Survey, orthorectified, update cycle 2 years) for Bavaria/Germany available for use in OSM, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Bayern
But it’s available only as wms. I asked as you mentioned in #152 you might consider including some limited wms support in iD soon.
Thanks

You are confusing two things here:

• adding an entry to this index (there are lots of WMS entries)
• support for WMS servers in iD (and other editors)

The easy solution for the later is to run a mapproxy service as an intermediary, if you don't have the (small) resources needed to do so, you could ask SOSM or FOSSGIS.

[geowOSM]

Thanks Simon, my fault, I meant wms support in iD and should have addressed bhousel directly. Corrected.

[simonpoole]

@geowOSM still if nobody wants to do it in DE, we (SOSM) can add it to our mapproxy instance.

WMS support in iD should be discussed in iD's repository. There's an old ticket (openstreetmap/iD#1141) which could be re-opened if needed.

@tyrasd Thanks for re-opening openstreetmap/iD#1141.

@simonpoole Thanks, I appreciate your kind offer. I will check back tomorrow with the State Survey, if they might be able to provide a tms-url. If not, I would be happy with MapProxy. Do I understand correctly, that by adding it there, it can also be used in other editors, which rely on the editor-layer-index?

[simonpoole]

@geowOSM yes it then can be used as like a completely normal tileserver and if configured here will eventually turn up in iD and the other editors that use this index.

PS: a reasonably simple boundary polygon for Bayern in geo JSON would be helpful for adding the configuration.

PPS: mapproxy will reproject if necessary.

Yes, lets reopen that ticket.. I've ported the whoots code over to javascript, so it would be a small lift to bring that library into iD and support WMSs that can serve EPSG:3857.

[geowOSM]

@simonpoole Today the Bavarian Survey Authority has confirmed on request, that there are so far no plans providing a TMS for the DOP80. If your offer is still valid I (and many others) would greatly appreciate if SOSM would add it to their mapproxy.

A boundary polygon for Bavaria should be already available in the editor-imagery-index repository, as the DE / Bavaria (2 m) layer is included. As an appropriate projection EPSG:4326 is available (but not 3857).

@geowOSM

http://mapproxy.osm.ch:8080/tiles/BAYERNDOP80/EPSG900913/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?origin=nw

should already work as custom imagery link in iD. I'll prepare a PR for adding it to the index.
