    57
    6 Relevant main menu "Imagery" is easy to use, [wiki:Introduction#EnableAerialimagery it was shown in "Introduction"].
     8Four tabs are available for adding, deleting and modifying [#Imageryproviders imagery sources], general [#Settings imagery settings], [#OffsetBooksmarks offset bookmarks] and [#Cache imagery cache settings].

    10 == Imagery providers ==
    11 This is the place to modify the list of imagery providers that is presented in the imagery menu and from which you can activate the imagery layers.
    12 
    13 === Activate more items in Imagery menu ===
    14 
    15 [[Image(predefined-imagery.png,400px)]]
    16 1. Select one or more imagery provider of interest in the **Available default entries** table on the left
    17 1. Optional: verify bounds on the map on the right
    18 1. Click **Activate**
    19 1. Click **OK** to close the preferences dialog
    20 
    21 === Custom imagery URL ===
    22 
    23 ==== Add custom WMS imagery ====
    24 1. Click [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/add.png,18)]] just to the right of the **Selected entries** table on the bottom half of this tab
    25 [[Image(wms.png,400px)]]
    26 1. Insert **Menu Name**
    27 1. Paste **Service URL** (Mac users: paste is ctrl-v in josm)
    28 1. Click **Get Layers**
    29 1. Select one or more layers
    30 1. Click **OK** to close the window
    31 1. Click **OK** to close the preferences dialog
     10**Note**: To display an imagery (''background'') in the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview] use the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery menu] instead.

    34 ==== Troubleshooting ====
    35 If the WMS layer list cannot be loaded, a warning dialog is shown:
     13== Imagery providers ==#Imageryproviders
     14Here you can modify the list of imageries which appear in the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery menu]. A lot of predefined sources are available, additionally modifiying existing and defining customized entries is possible. JOSM supports WMS, TMS, WTMS and MVT servers.
    3615
    37 [[Image(wms-error.png)]]
     16=== Available default entries ===#DefaultEntries
     17The top left list contains all available sources. If you select a source and if it is not provided global its bounds are displayed on the little map on the top right. You can filter this list by typing in the box above. You can use parts of the source name, the country code (e.g. cz), the country name (e.g. Czech republic, use the country name in the language JOSM is set to), the source category (photo, elevation, historicphoto, map, historicmap, osmbasedmap, quality assurance or other) or the URL.
    3818
    39 To trace the problem, copy the URL from most recent line from the console (e.g., `GET http://vogis.cnv.at/mapserver/mapserv?...`) and open it in your browser.
     19* To update (reload from JOSM server) the list of default entries click on the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/refresh)]] button between the two lists.
     20* To copy an entry from the top list to the bottom list select it in the top list and click on the [[JOSMImage(preferences/activate-down)]] ''**Activate**'' button between the two lists.
    4021
     22**Note:** To add an entry to the top list of default entries read the [wiki:/Maps#Documentation Documentation] and edit [wiki:/Maps#Listofsources Maps] or its subpages (for advanced users).
    4123
    42 ==== Add custom TMS imagery ====
    43 [[Image(tms.png,400px)]]
    44 1. Click [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/add.png,18)]] just to the right of the **Selected entries** table on the bottom half of this tab
    45 1. Click **TMS**!
    46 1. Insert **Menu Name**
    47 1. Paste **TMS URL**, replace `x`, `y`, `zoom` parameter in the URL by `{x}`, `{y}`, `{zoom}`, respectively. Use for instance `{switch:a,b,c}` or `{switch:1,2,3,4}` for a random selection of the subdomain. Example: `http://{switch:a,b,c}.www.toolserver.org/tiles/bw-mapnik/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png`. See [[Maps#TileMapServicesTMS]] for more options.
    48 1. Optional: insert the zoom range in **Zoom**
    49 1. Click **OK** to close the preferences dialog
     24=== Selected entries ===#SelectedEntries
     25[[Image(PreferencesImageryProviders.png​,45%,link=,right,margin-left=10)]]
     26The bottom list contains all entries which will appear in the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery menu]. Activated default entries are highlighted green in both lists. (The green color doesn't say anything about the state/health of the servers they mention, nor the validity of the URLs.)
    5027
     28* To add an custom WMS/TMS/WMTS/MVT source click on the respective button on the right, [[JOSMImage(dialogs/add_wms)]], [[JOSMImage(dialogs/add_tms)]], [[JOSMImage(dialogs/add_wmts)]] or [[JOSMImage(dialogs/add_mvt)]] and follow the instructions.
     29* To delete an entry in the bottom list select it and click on the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/delete)]] button.
     30* To modify an entry, double click on the field in the table and modify its content.
     31 
     32 **Tip**: To manually add a new entry by hand, activate an entry from the list above and modify it to your needs.

    52 === Delete entry from imagery list ===
    53 1. Select one or more entries in the **Selected entries** table on the bottom half of this tab

    55 1. Click **OK** to close the preferences dialog
     34The list of ''selected entries'' is saved in advanced preference as value of key: `imagery.entries`
    5635
    57 === Advanced: Add entry to list of predefined imagery ===
    58 Read the [[Maps#Documentation|Documentation]] and edit [[Maps]].
     36== Settings ==#Settings
     37Here you can edit some general imagery settings. Some of these settings are also available, per imagery layer, by right click in map view with a visible imagery layer.

     43
     44 Tiles zoom offset::
     45  offset between calculated zoom level and zoom level used to download and show tiles. Negative values (''underzoom'') will result in lower resolution of imagery useful with HiDPI displays, positive values (''overzoom'') will result in higher resolution, at the cost of increased memory consumption. \\
     46  ''Advance preference: `imagery.generic.zoom_offset`
     47

     70
     71 Min. zoom level::
     72  minimum zoom level for TMS layers. \\
     73  ''Advance preference: `imagery.tms.min_zoom_lvl` (default: `2`)''

     89  ''Advance preference: `imagery.tms.tmsloader.maxjobsperhost` (default: `6`)''
     90
     91== Offset bookmarks ==#OffsetBooksmarks
     92Here are listed all offset bookmarks which can easily be added via [[JOSMImage(mapmode/adjustimg)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/ImageryAdjust New offset] in the Imagery menu and the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/layerlist)]] [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList layers list] panel's [wikitr:/Help/Menu/ImageryContextMenu context menu]. \\
     93''Advance preference: `imagery.offsetbookmarks`''

     96
     97== Cache ==#Cache
     98Here are listed all cached images (tiles) from each source. You can use the ''**clear**'' button in each line to delete the cached images for each source. You may need a JOSM restart to take effect in the Mapview.
     99
     100**Note**: A possibly existing ''Mapnik'' entry stems from using the slippy map shown by the JOSM [wikitr:/Help/Action/Download#Slippymap download dialog] in older JOSM versions. Since r14495 (#17054), you can safely delete it.
