     15The 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 type (photo, historicphoto, map, historicmap, osmbasedmap or other) or the URL.

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.)

    60 === Notes ===
    61 ==== Meaning of green and white rows ====
    62 In upper table:
    63   Green means item is also listed in lower table. (This is called "activated".)
    64 
    65 In lower table:
    66   Green means item is also listed in upper table.
    67 
    68 In both tables if an item is white, it will only be found in one table,
    69 not both.
    70 
    71 Neither green nor white lines have any relation to the state / health of the
    72 servers they mention, nor the validity of the URLs they contain.
    73 
    74 == Cache contents ==
    7538[[Image(scr_imagery_prefs_cache.png,400px)]]
