[OSM-talk-be] Digital Globe Images

Yes, they even seemed to prioritize areas which had no decent coverage at
all. For example, I checked my "area of interest" in Bolivia, and there's a
lot of new woods to map (I like to following the outline of civilization):

Tais just pointed out that in Congo as well, some places are now mapable
that weren't before. So if you had some areas of interest that had bad
imagery before, now you will probably have something better.

As for Belgium: the imagery seems to be much more recent than Bing, check
for example here:

I for one am not going to use SPW imagery until we have a more official
letter from them, so for my Walloon mapping, this is definitely useful.
