By the way, I also live in this area. We could organise a small event.

Hi Roy

(Welcome to the Australian contingent of Swiss OSM mappers :-))

There's nothing with any reasonable detail that covers all of Switzerland that is available on terms that are compatible with CC-BY-SA 2.0 or ODBL. But you may be able to strike a deal with the local communities (most have aerial photographs hidden away somewhere), there are a couple of examples of going that route that worked*. In general as RB said, most stuff is mapped on foot and compared, say to Germany, we still have a lot of areas that are very incomplete.

Hi!

I've just moved to Martigny, Valais - I was previously in Brisbane, Australia.

Is there any good satellite imagery available in my new area? What
would you recommend? It would be even better if you could advise me
what corresponding settings to use with JOSM's SlippyMap plugin.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to contributing here.

Roy
