I’ve noticed that the iD editor’s Bing satellite imagery in my area (Surrey, UK) has just been upgraded! I checked it out for the first time since December 2022 and, to my delight, it’s much newer, clearer and more detailed now.
I’m not sure if this change was from Bing “releasing” a new version of the imagery, or an update to editor-layer-index or iD, but I’d like to say thanks to anyone who helped update it. I’m sure that it’ll help my mapping, and hopefully similar upgrades for other areas will follow.
I’ve found an area where the “new” and “old” tiles meet so that you can see what I mean: iD Editor @ 51.25936, -0.42770
What’s the imagery like in your area? Have you noticed any recent upgrades?
