[HOT] What is up with Bing?

[Jubal Harpster]

Hi Ciarán, I work on the Bing team at Microsoft.  I’ll check in with the Imagery team and report back what I find out.

I know there have been some imagery updates happening and it’s entirely possible those updates may have inadvertently caused things to shift around.

I'm surprised no body else has seen this, or commented as I am told it was the case since yesterday (Friday: AM GMT). It would appear that Bing for central and southern Africa has been re-rectified and that the linework of the OSM drawings look like they were shoved to the west about 3 metres. I then thought it might be an issue specific to me so I asked others and they see it. I thought it might be specific to JOSM and how it recieves the sat imagery and its not that either because ID has the same problem.

Anybody know how to talk to the people in Bing and call them to put central and southern Africa back to the West about 3m? Forgive me if the problem is a southern hemisphere thing, I just looked at Africa.
