Hi, I'm not sure why you would want to use imagery that doesn't show a large percentage of buildings. The offset between the two images seems pretty small, and while undesirable, not that big of a problem. Dan On Tue, Nov 8, 2016 at 2:12 PM, Chad Blevins wrote: > I

I modified the instructions in the task 2102 to hopefully help clarify the imagery problem. This it was originally mapped using Bing, I suggest we validate using that source and use the service for cloudy or poor image quality areas. I'm open to feedback of
