[talk-au] JOSM and losing Bing Hi Res zoom recently

[Jason Ward]

Its a bit of a stretch but they could be scaling back high load services
(ie.  High Res map tiles) to non Bing products to ensure their 3D Maps
release runs buttering smooth.

but
in this day and age that'd be an extraordinary step to take (and an
indicator of not being confident in your own ability to scale).

Anyway.  It just a guess.  If enough people notice then we should
ultimately arrive at a reason why.  Thanks again for the heads up Andy.

Cheers,

Jason
