[Talk-ca] More Digital Globe content coming to Bing Maps

[Harald Kliems]

That's great news. Let's hope the accuracy of the new images will be
good. For checking the age of Bing imagery, see here:

No idea if this will work with the new images (and apparently it
wasn't all that accurate with the old ones either).
