Google Maps Satellite​

only for evaluating

Do not use Google Maps Satellite Imagery as a reference for drawing any street, park or any other node or way. Google Maps Satellite is licensed.

using bypass

JOSM developers are kind of smart. This line of code blocks the usage of mt0.google.com and mt1.google.com servers (GMaps Satellite TMS service). But we are smarter. Use this HTTP 302 redirect for usig Gmaps Satellite on JOSM. Again said, only for evaluating.

Do not draw from this Imagery. We are not responsible for the misuse of this layer in JOSM.

tms[26]:https://bypassmap.ragyxo.com/vt/lyrs=s&z={zoom}&x={x}&y={y}

You can replace the s after lyrs= to access other types of map:

  • y = hybrid
  • s = satelite
  • t = train
  • m = map
