Re: [OSM-talk] Decline in accuracy of capture date metadata in Bing imagery

A contact in Microsoft said that the Bing imagery is made up of multiple images which results in the date range. The imagery we are getting has improved over time, although it seems at a snails pace. I'm sure if we were paying for imagery we would have different requirements. Bing probably wants n

I am not seeing a decline in accuracy in the areas I am familiar with. By the way, the following tool shows Bing dates or date ranges easily: http://mvexel.dev.openstreetmap.org/bing/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstre

There's no technical issue at all, he can see the meta data. Microsoft can push what ever meta data they want or none at all. I was just suggesting a solution to Christoph's issue with lacking meta data On Tue, Jul 25, 2017 at 1:56 PM, SwiftFast wrote: > OP asked a about a very specific technica

[OSM-talk] Decline in accuracy of capture date metadata in Bing imagery

I wonder if anyone else noticed the widespread decline in the accuracy of capture date metadata in Bing images as you can see it in JOSM via 'show tile info'? It seems to me in many cases in rural areas we get pretty useless ranges of dates now - the longest span i have seen so far is 2003-201
