[[JOSMImage(wikimedia_commons,48,link=,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut: **none**''

Downloads images from [https://commons.wikimedia.org Wikimedia Commons], a repository of open licensed images, and presents them as a layer for reference while mapping. This fetches images based on the geo-location data within the wikimedia commons database, and only fetches those images located within the current JOSM view. Note: You can [https://wikimap.toolforge.org/?wp=false&cluster=false&zoom=18&lat=051.523300&lon=-000.135100 browse the geo-located image data as an online map here]

The geolocated images layer behaves in a very similar way to one created by loading your own local photo files. Small camera icons appear on the main map view, and a sidebar panel allows you to inspect and zoom in on the selected photo. See [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/ImageViewer Geotagged Images panel]
