I have updated the wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bing_Maps#Bing_Aerial_Imagery> with some relevant information. The Ts&Cs probably need some checking between LWG & Microsoft for clarification of actual intent.For now I think it is best to not use it for adding new POIs, but to follow the terms and only use for corroboration of surveys (e.g., shops which have gone).
It's simple to see coverage select Streetside in the imagery layer and it shows areas with a light blue overlay (you may need Silverlight, and you need to be zoomed out enough to include an area which is covered).. UK cities with coverage: - Birmingham, Coventry & most of West Midlands - London (to M25) - Manchester (seems to be from around 2011). - Bristol - Edinburgh - Glasgow - Liverpool & the Wirral - Bournemouth - Cardiff Elsewhere in Europe: - France: Paris, Metz, Nancy, Mulhouse, Lyon, Grenoble, Marseilles, Avignon, Nimes, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Niice with Cannes. Some motorways. - Spain: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Malaga. Some motorways. - Italy: none - DACH: none - Benelux: none - Rest of Europe: none Jerry On 20 May 2018 at 12:52, Philip Barnes <p...@trigpoint.me.uk> wrote: > On Sun, 2018-05-20 at 12:23 +0100, Rob Nickerson wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Not seen this posted here yet.
