Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bing Updated

As the aerial image is also composed out of 256x256 tiles, it is 
possible that the higher zoom levels are not yet generated from the new 
materials.

Wait, hope and see!

I've also the impression the resolution is now on par with bing.com/maps.
Now you can map also very recent buildings and other objects.
 


I hope they don't stop here, as it seems a work in progress.
Looking over Liège at a place I know changed recently, hospital "le valdor"
(see http://osm.org/go/0Eqqh5ZcK-) up to zoom 17 I now get images from
10/10/2010, but at zoom 18 and over it is still images from 10/6/2007 when
the hospital was in re-construction.
This is not a JOSM problem, as you can see on bing site
http://be.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=50.63429469934849~5.589405251254638&lvl=17&;
dir=0&sty=h&form=LMLTCC

We'll see in the coming days.
   



As you maybe can see, the new imagery is less detailed then what they had 
before in some locations, so they chose the (IMO) sensible option to show 
older images when you're zoomed in. Sure, it can look weird, but it's either 
this, or blocky images at zoom 18.

I saw it last evening. But I noticed that buildings were shifted a bit a few
days ago.

Really good images now. I can even draw the new "rusthuis" that still has to
be build, but of which you can see the contours.

Dat is geweldig nieuws. Ik heb meteen van de gelegenheid gebruik gemaakt om
de Leuvense stationsomgeving nog wat beter in kaart te brengen.

Groeten,

[OSM-talk-be] Bing Updated

Hi,

Bing updated the background imagery for JOSM and Potlatch to spring 2011.
I've also the impression the resolution is now on par with bing.com/maps.
Now you can map also very recent buildings and other objects.

Happy mapping,
Gerard.
