Once it's been aligned against a few GPS traces, yes.  Until that's been 
done a wall mapped just from Bing imagery might be a few meters out.  
However, even if a wall is mapped a few meters wrong, the position 
relative to other features will still be useful - although once GPS 
traces are added it'll need to be realigned, of course.

Cheers,
Andy
