There are numerous programs that exist which show the density of mapping in certain areas. Maybe it would be useful to find the more heavily mapped areas that dont have coverage? > Please mail sco...@microsoft.com with the area in question (I'd love to > accept > bounding boxes but don't really have the time so cities/countries are > the best). This almost seems backwards. If youre given a city/country, dont you have to then find it so you can figure out a bounding box anyway? Personally, Id like to see the coverage extended along the east coast of Australia, in many areas the coverage seems to cover huge regional areas but then stops short of the townships. Id also like to throw in a vote for imagery of the alpine snowy mountains here too. I think its also worth looking at what areas are covered by NearMap but arent covered by bing, as when all the nearmap-derived data is removed, many mappers will want some sort of imagery to replace it (even if it is much lower quality).
