[Talk-us-massachusetts] new Bing imagery!

[Wayne Emerson, Jr.]

Yes I noticed this update while I was mapping Cohasset in mid January. 
The new Bing imagery was taken from August 2019. However there is still 
a stripe of imagery from Hull to Weymouth going south that is still old. 
And everything south of a line from Bridgewater to Kingston looks like 
it is still old. (Bing seems to have stopped reporting vintage date.)
The Bing imagery is very nice, though I did find some anomolies around 
here in Scituate

If you look at the west end of the houses there you will see their 
algorithm rectified the houses but forgot to chop off the old tilted 
bits of the original image. I haven't seen a lot of this but its 
something to keep in mind.
