Hey Sean, 

Do you have some nice NJ orthoimagery i could georeference first before layering in the teeny, tiny pole-aerial photos? I'm hitting the limit on what i can do with these: http://mapknitter.org/maps/2014-07-27-new-jersey-newark-green-garden-visible

the address is 114 South 8th Street, Newark, NJ 07107

Hey Liz,

We do have higher resolution imagery accessible in a couple of different formats.

There are WMS services for all of our imagery (1930 to 2013), the details on connecting to those services can be found here: https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/jviewer.jsp?pg=wms_instruct

If you wanted to bring the tiles in directly to a desktop application, the State has a download site to choose the aerial flight year, navigate to the location and choose the individual tiles. The URL is: https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/IW.jsp?DLayer=NJ%202012%20High%20Resolution%20Orthophotography 

The specific tile you are looking for is available for download at: https://njgin.state.nj.us/ortho2012/nj2012ortho_sid_J6D6.zip

Please let me know if you have any issues or need more details.

Hi Sean, 

Mapknitter can only upload GIF, JPEG, or PNG

QGIS doesn't seem to load mrSID, or else i would convert it myself. Any ideas?

Mapknitter can also load a TMS, but not the WMS offered by NJGIS. Any ideas on this?

Hi Liz and Matthew,

I am new to the whole PAP thing and was wondering how were you able to build a pole that is 45 tall? Or was it bought that long?

Thanks!

Maria
