Re: [OSM-talk-be] Difference between OSM and BING background
This seems to be solved by the recent Bing update. Regards, Gerard.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Difference between OSM and BING background
Hi Dirk, Several post already mentioned such differences that may change depending on the zoom level. Usualy it is just a matter of 5 - 10 meters, but here the difference is huge. It looks like some pictures are aligned completely wrong in bing. I looked it up in bing itself, and on the right zoom level you can see the same error there. http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2cp=51.1774255067297~4.444970291236894lvl=18dir=0sty=hform=LMLTCC The error is clearly at microsoft. If it has to be corrected it has to happen there. Perhaps in bing there is a link where you can report the error.
