The area in the screenshot seems to have a higher resolution than satellites can achieve. Also I've stumbled on big airliners in Yahoo or Bing satellite imagery before and they look much different (longer exposition time and the RGB components somehow have an offset because of the altitude difference, like here: http://www.streetviewfun.com/2010/airplane-on-satellite-image-2/) Cheers _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
