The Bing road detect API (magicshop.cloudapp.net) is an experimental service bing has announced. It can automatically derive street vector data from Bing aerial imagery. Given a start and end point, the service will perform image processing to attempt to recognise the position of a road, and return vector data for it. (Vectorisation) This a process which OpenStreetMap mappers do manually quite a lot, and so the service could potentially be a big time saver when it comes to that particular type of mapping. An important thing to note however, is that this "sketching" of aerial imagery is only one type of mapping, and the more efficient we are at doing it, the more like an automated import it becomes. For best results we should try to combine it with other mapping techniques, and think about ways of building a community of local on-the-ground mappers.
