[OSM-talk] Bing maps is misplaced

The road in question in the original post was on nearmap imagery which
is updated frequently - in Melbourne about each 3 months.
That exact example is from October 2010.

Lots of things in OSM are out of date, they are last mapped the last
time the place was visited by a mapper.
