Document the "Load images from Wikimedia Commons" feature

File > Load images from Wikimedia Commons

source:trunk/resources/images/wikimedia_commons.svg Keyboard shortcut: none

Downloads images from 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 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 Help/Dialog/ImageViewer
