Hi ant.
The tool is great, but it would be even greater to have the specific
zoom level availlable instead of "14 or more".
14 may be a threshold of useability in many areas, but for other
purposes even 17, 18 or 19 may be the treshold (e.g. mapping of
sidewalks, mapping of street lanterns ;) (compare the AeroWest imagery
we have (had?) availlable for use in Dortmund).
regards
Peter
P.S.: if possible, an OSM map overlay would be great, too ;)

What is your definition of "hires"? Zooming in on my city shows green

the definition of "hires" used in this application is "imagery is
available at zoom level 14 or more". If you compare coverage areas
linked to on the wiki page, you'll see that almost all of them
correspond to that definition.
I'm aware that there might be levels of even greater detail, but that
isn't implemented...
cheers

Nice bit of code though.

Hi,
I have noticed mappers make various attempts to map coverage of Bing
high
resolution imagery. Some drawed areas around the imagery and stuffed
them
into relations, others created xml files etc. etc. (see the wiki
page [1])
I thought that a world coverage map wasn't feasible with those
methods, so I
took Martijn van Exel's Bing analyzer and tweaked in a way that it
creates a
simple red/green map of hires coverage (green=hires available,
red=hires not
available).
You will see that only a few spots have been rendered so far, but
that is
due to the way it works: You must zoom in to a hires zoom level in
order to
trigger the rendering. Try it out:
