We actually don’t get this from most tile providers, but we can get it from Bing in the response header. Would definitely welcome a pull request if someone wants to take a shot at implementing this. https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2492 Thanks, Bryan On Jun 11, 2015, at 10:05 AM, Kam, Kristen <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: We need to make it more easier to load up-to-date imagery to our OSM editing applications. And I think something easy as publicizing the date of the imagery collection would get folks to do a double take before using older imagery.
