    6 [[TOC]]
     8Four tabs are available for adding, deleting and modifying [#Imageryproviders imagery sources], general [#Settings imagery settings], [#OffsetBooksmarks offset bookmarks] and [#Cache imagery cache settings].
    79
    8 == Imagery providers ==
    9 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.
    10 
    11 === Add predefined imagery ===
    12 [[Image(predefined-imagery.png,400px)]]
    13 1. Select one or more imagery provider of interest in the **Available default entries** table on the left
    14 1. Optional: verify bounds on the map on the right
    15 1. Click **Activate**
    16 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.
    1711
    1812
    19 === Add custom WMS imagery ===
    20 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
    21 [[Image(wms.png,400px)]]
    22 1. Insert **Menu Name**
    23 1. Paste **Service URL** (Mac users: paste is ctrl-v in josm)
    24 1. Click **Get Layers**
    25 1. Select one or more layers
    26 1. Click **OK** to close the window
    27 1. Click **OK** to close the preferences dialog
     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.
    2815
     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.
    2918
    30 ==== Troubleshooting ====
    31 If the WMS layer list cannot be loaded, a warning dialog is shown:
     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.
    3221
    33 [[Image(wms-error.png)]]
     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).
    3423
    35 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.
     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.)
    3627
     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.
    3733
    38 === Add custom TMS imagery ===
    39 [[Image(tms.png,400px)]]
    40 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
    41 1. Click **TMS**!
    42 1. Insert **Menu Name**
    43 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.
    44 1. Optional: insert the zoom range in **Zoom**
    45 1. Click **OK** to close the preferences dialog
     34The list of ''selected entries'' is saved in advanced preference as value of key: `imagery.entries`
    4635
     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.
    4738
    48 === Delete entry from imagery list ===
    49 1. Select one or more entries in the **Selected entries** table on the bottom half of this tab
    50 1. Click [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png,18)]] to delete selected entries
    51 1. Click **OK** to close the preferences dialog
     39=== Common Settings ===#CommonSettings
     40 Sharpen (requires layer re-add)::
     41  adds a sharpening post-process. Values are ''None'', ''Soft'' or ''Sharp''. As this changes the entry in the list, the imagery layer has to be re-added. \\

     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. \\

     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]. \\

     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.
