[HOT] What is up with Bing?

[Emir Hartato]

Hi Ciarán,

I think we don't have much authority to tell Bing about the imagery offset.
I would recommend to fix this by yourself using offset tool in JOSM.

http://learnosm.org/en/josm/correcting-imagery-offset/

Also there's a plug-in in JOSM that download current offset from a database
that you can install:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/Imagery_Offset_Database

I would recommend you to check on the offset database first before you fix
manually.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Emir
