<br>There is one strip that runs straight through the city centre that is even older. It was taken prior to Millennium Place/Whittle Arches so is from very early 2000's. Annoyingly that area has changed quite a bit now.<br>

Welcome, Florian. I'm also in Coventry. I'm rubbish at making it to meets, but if we had more of them in Coventry I'd probably show up...<br>
<br>
As Rob says, the Bing imagery for Coventry and the surrounding areas is pretty old. From the state of various building projects it appears to be from July/August 2007. It does seem pretty well-aligned around here though, not like some places.<br>

Hi Florian,<br>
<br>
Good to hear from you. I live in Coventry and am happy to help you where I can. There's plenty of villages in the surrounding area that have just the roads mapped. One word of warning - watch out for Bing Imagery, some of it is very old now. Looking forward to Microsoft updating their aerial map tiles!<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm Florian, french OSM contributor since 2009.<br>
I'd like to introduce myself to the local community because I'm<br>
moving from Paris to Coventry in october because of my work.<br>
<br>
I map wherever I go with a Garmin Etrex 20. I like to map entire<br>
small villages and accessibility is my favorite topic : I want a<br>
map available also for disabled people.<br>
<br>
In France I worked with the french association Jaccede<br></div>
<<a href="http://www.jaccede.com/" target="_blank">http://www.jaccede.com/</a>> to import such data. I also already<div class="im"><br>
organised some mapping parties, most of them for collecting<br>
accessibility's data.<br>
<br>
I'm also a founding member of the french OSM association<br></div>
<<a href="http://openstreetmap.fr/" target="_blank">http://openstreetmap.fr/</a>>, you can see me in the top banner, with<div class="im"><br>
the pink shirt : <a href="https://www.facebook.com/osmfr" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/osmfr</a><br>
<br>
I will take part of the "Mappa Mercia" project with pleasure :)<br>
<br>
Waitin' to meet you at the next IRL,<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
