Bing coverage analyser showing the whole globe

Bing imagery covers the globe with varying detail levels. Most of the globe is only available as very low resolution satellite imagery. This is effectively nasa Landsat imagery forming the base-line for any areas where Bing does not have better imagery coverage. The areas where Bing does have better coverage, are what's really of interest. Within these areas we see a variety of available resolution levels, and ages of the imagery.

Coverage analyzer tool

Bing coverage analyser showing Scotland

A coverage tool is available which allows you to view and discover areas of bing coverage:

http://ant.dev.openstreetmap.org/bingimageanalyzer/

This tool will draw a coverage map of hires imagery. You have to zoom in to zoom level 14 or more to discover high resolution tiles, which will then result in green and red tiles indicating availability of imagery being rendered in all zoom levels.

This is a modified version of the original Bing analyzer ( http://mvexel.dev.openstreetmap.org/bing/ ) which lets you check coverage and approximate capture date for Bing aerial imagery. The dates shown in this application are taken from the tile metadata as provided by Bing. It's the best we have in the way of metadata. Zoom in and out to see even different ages of each zoom levels! See discussion for error reports.

Boundaries in the data?

Arguably you should not put boundary data into OpenStreetMap. Particularly do not group them into boundary relations. Large, detailed relations can be exceptionally slow to retrieve and cause very high server load, and will generally cause problems at the browser end when accessing via an OpenLayers slippymap client. Significant problems have already been caused by people trying to map coverage with a relation, and then posting the relation URL.

Instead you might make a simple .osm file indicating coverages, uploaded it elsewhere, and link to it.

But for getting a view of Bing coverage you can also simply link to the tool above (it has a 'permalink' feature in the top right)

The coverage lists

The following sections list locations and cities covered by Bing Map's Aerial Imagery.

You can use this page for recording coverage, although tools like the one above make this less necessary,

A lot of areas have Bing high resolution coverage. Boundaries are marked by a simple way with "note=Bing Aerial Imagery Coverage". An overview is available at Relation.png 1302934 (XML, analyze, manage, gpx, JOSM, history, view)

You can switch on a map overlay on http://compare.osm-tools.org/ to show the boundaries and directly launch an edit session in case you have JOSM running. Aerials need alignment. Misalignment might vary so double check with existing GPS tracks. Use common sense.

  • In principle, all images are provided by IGN. Please don't use Geoportail to retrieve more recent images, the Geoportail license is not compatible with OSM ! You can only use the images downloaded through the BingMaps API. See the coverage and resolution in this VirtualEarth blog entry (previous name of Bing Maps).
  • Some cities (e.g. Strasbourg) are covered by Blom with 20cm/pixel.

Germany

  • Baden-Württemberg Southwest of Germany seems to be from about Spring 2001.
  • Bavaria
    • Munich has resolution similar to Google; imagery is from 2006.
    • Region around Nuremberg (North-Bavaria) has resolution similar to Google; imagery is from about spring 2001 and offset is in good accordance with gps traces.
  • Brandenburg
    • Southeast of Brandenburg [1], high-resolution imagery from april 2011, to get the best result use mercator-projektion and an offset of 0.00;-5.00
  • Hesse high-resolution imagery looks similar to Google-satellite - seems also to be the same timeframe (about 10a old) - didn't check about shifts - yet.
    • Updated high-res aerial imagery from 2012 available at least in areas around Frankfurt!
  • North Rhine-Westphalia
    • Bonn (probably the whole Bonn-Cologne region) slightly better resolution than Yahoo and broader region. Images are about 5-7 years old, which is newer than Yahoo was and are pretty blurred. There is a little positional difference compared to Yahoo (larger difference on hills).
    • Remscheid has excellent resolution.
  • Schleswig-Holstein
  • Thuringia has resolution similar to Google; imagery is from about 2001-2002.

Italy

Only the major cities seem to have a resolution which is higher than already available from Portale Cartografico Nazionale.

Images from the Milan area seem to be mostly from late 2007; sometimes they are mixed with imagery that is a few years older.

A quick sample from the Milan area seems to be aligned precisely at ground level, while objects above (buildings, bridges) or below may be slightly misaligned. Misalignments are likely to occur also in hilly areas or in the mountains (if someone has any experience on that, please add it here).

In some places there are visible artefacts and offsets where two images have been stitched together.

Extensive coverage, however there seems to be two levels of detail - and occasional voids with no imagery at all (e.g. most of Dumfries and Galloway does not have any imagery). There is medium resolution coverage for most of the country - which looks to possibly be from the "Millennium Map" project - and is now 10 years out of date. There are areas of high-resolution coverage - some very small areas - some huge areas (e.g. most of Wales and the Midlands appear to be covered). Some city centres have good coverage. - click here to check details.
