[OSM-talk-ie] Bing satellite image replaced

[Colm Moore]

Hi,

While up to date imagery is welcome, it can be selective. Urban areas seem to have a flood of newish imagery, while rural areas seem to have very little.

To be honest, I think some of the recent imagery is awful. You can see there is a road / building / river / whatever, but little else due to lack of definition.

That compares to previously being able to pick out streetlights and the poles at bus stops an identify them as such. The original Bing set should be kept, but tagged as dated. Detailed imagery is important as ground surveys can't go everywhere.
