in JOSM with an imagery layer selected, context click (right click) on
the imagery layer, then select "show tile info" will display the image
tile metadata.  this meta data might include image capture date (or
sometimes just a date range).

That's great news. Let's hope the accuracy of the new images will be
good. For checking the age of Bing imagery, see here:

No idea if this will work with the new images (and apparently it
wasn't all that accurate with the old ones either).

[Talk-ca] More Digital Globe content coming to Bing Maps

2012-04-30 Thread Connors, Bernie (SNB)

Microsoft has signed a new deal with satellite operator Digital Globe for more 
high-resolution earth imagery for Bing Maps.  This is good news for OSM users 
like me who like to trace satellite imagery and combine it with my local 
knowledge.

Does anybody know if there is a way to track or identify new imagery in Bing 
Maps?

Thanks,
Bernie.
