http://mvexel.dev.openstreetmap.org/bing/ is the best method of checking

Subject: [Talk-GB] Bing imagery update? using photo's from late 2011?

 

I've just noticed an update to Bing imagery in the UK. Area I was looking at
was Torbay, Devon. [link <http://binged.it/yq8NYY> ]. The updates images are
not available at full zoom for some reason, so by zooming all the way in you
can see the previous images.
Finding it hard to give a date to the images, but I think for Torbay they
were taken in late summer 2011.

I've spotted land changes in images for South London that indicate a recent
imagery & update there. Has this happened across the UK?

Apologies is this info has already come up in the list.

Not in London. Bizarrely, if you look at the Olympic Park in Bird's Eye
view it is pre-demolition of the old industrial estates!
http://binged.it/zs8itS The same appears to be the case across other parts
of the capital.

On their website, if you select Bird's Eye view then the view stays the same to 
maximum resolution. If however you select Aerial view it uses images taken at a 
different time and then flips to the Bird's Eye view at the highest resolution.
I don't know about the relative dates of the images.
Could just be a bug!  //Mike

Zoom 21 contains the photos Bing have of inside your house.
Not publicly available for obvious reasons. /joke

I thought I had replied here already...
You can tell the date of a tile by using this tool
http://mvexel.dev.openstreetmap.org/bing/ (zoom in to see the dates of high
zoom levels).

I listed it as the second Christmas present to mappers.

There is new imagery (within ~6 months) in the North Yorkshire area.
Specifically I've seen new imagery just south of Middlesbrough and in
the Whitby area.

The resolution isn't all that great, which seems a little strange.

To view this at http://www.bing.com/maps you need to select aerial
photography with the "show labels" option unticked.  It seems to stretch
from Poole Harbour in the west to Langstone Harbour in the east, and from
the Isle of Wight north as far as Romsey and Chandler's Ford, but not up to
Winchester.

Goes off to check nearby Portsmouth

Yay finally the Spinnaker Tower is there!

Interesting to check all the other 'recent' developments around the City in the 
last five years are now visible,
I might get around to tracing better detail at some point...

[Talk-GB] Bing Imagery update

Not sure how widespread the update is, but certainly the Bing Imagery 
covering the Isle of Wight has recently been updated to imagery taken within 
the last few months.
