Dear everyone,

We often wondered how much of the Philippines is covered by Bing's
hires imagery.  Using the the data from out Imagery coverage map [0],
I clipped the imagery outline polygon to the coastline data in OSM [1]
and I got the value 180,466 km^2.  We have roughly 300,000 km^2 of
land. So,

180466 / 300000 = 60%
