[OSM-talk-be] Difference between OSM and BING background

[Gerard Vanderveken]

Hi,

The difference shows in PotLatch 2.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.176782&lon=4.445492&zoom=18&layers=M
In Potlatch the alignment with Yahoo is still correct.
For other areas (Loonbeek) the alignment witth Bing is still correct.
Probably Bing updated its images for some part of the Antwerp area and 
it has some alignment problems.

The church is duplicated at the right, but due to the advanced 
stitching, the tile borders are hard to see, even with some streets 
cutted off.
The misalignment shows on all zoom levels.
I assume this will be corrected in a few days.
The JOSM editor has some functions to align the background, but I don't 
recommend it to go into that.

Regards,
Gerard.
