Re: [OSM-talk-be] Digital Globe Images

Yes it seems to be a little bit more recent than 2015 SPW imagery in
Chaumont area (like a few month between the two). But the main disadvantage
is that the pixel size seems to be higher in Digital Globe imagery (the
image looks coarser). Bing still is the clearest imagery of all (with the
high constrast that help recognize the items). Would like to get a recent
imagery of Wallonia with good contrast like Urbis or AGIV ahah.

Hello


The imagery seems to be also more recent than SPW (less than 1 year in LLN and 
Chaumont area ; I didn't check in other areas).


Yep, definitely useful !

For example, I checked my "area of interest" in Bolivia, and there's a lot of 
new woods to map (I like to following the outline of civilization):

Tais just pointed out that in Congo as well, some places are now mapable that 
weren't before. So if you had some areas of interest that had bad imagery 
before, now you will probably have something better.


As for Belgium: the imagery seems to be much more recent than Bing, check for 
example here:

I for one am not going to use SPW imagery until we have a more official letter 
from them, so for my Walloon mapping, this is definitely useful.
