[Talk-bd] [OSM-talk] Bing coverage of Bangladesh

[Larry O'Neill]

I would be careful of the offset with the Bing tho - I have had to adjust it
to my gps traces before using it.
The offset isnt huge, but it is there
I'll be on night shift in work for the next few days, so i'll be doing a bit
more mapping if its quiet.
