Neue Bing Bilder veröffentlicht

Nee, die kommt ja hier öfters mal vorbei wenn sie in Finthen startet. :wink: War so eine Art Learjet 24/25/35. 3x gesehen selbe Richtung übern Tag verteilt.

@kellerma

5000m ? War deutlich tiefer, 1500m, schwer zu schätzen. Aber da fliegen die Flieger die in FFM landen hier sogar noch tiefer (ca. 3000m) als die “Orthoflieger”. Dann war wohl mehr der Wunsch Vater des Gedanken. Glaube muss doch mal wieder mehr Wege per GPS statt Flächen per Luftbilder mappen. :smiley:

Hello - new OSM member here, I am involved in Global Ortho project and can help with any questions. Am reading this through Google Translator so German or English will be OK. for example, flights in Mannheim initiated this past week. Cheers.

Fantastic!
When will the flights for Nuremberg (Bavaria) be done?

Thanks a lot!

Hey, please fly above my region (Münsterland)… :wink:

Oh, please not.

Nuremberg is much more important than “Münsterland” (What’s that?)

Flights for Nuremberg were completed Aug 18/19; generally there is ~3month lag until publishing to Bing (as you’ve probably already observed). so good news - it’s on the way.

Is it possible to get a rough flight plan or maybe a updated map like this http://www.digitalglobe.com/downloads/coverage_maps/aoap/aoap_europe/AOAP_Europe_Map_Germany.pdf? At least which region was/will be taken in a week?

If this is what you are referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wettringen_%28M%C3%BCnsterland%29 - It was flown July 23rd 2012

What about: Freiburg (Breisgau), Furtwangen, Villingen-Schwenningen, Tuttlingen?

Yes I have one updated today, just need a good place to post a JPEG, any suggestions?

Freiburg acquired July 26
Furtwangen and Villingen-Schwenningen acq Aug 1
Tuttlingen acq Aug 18

I can host it if you send it to me or you can just upload it here http://imageshack.us/
After the upload, it provides you a forum link which you can copy and post here

Sprichst Du besser englisch als deutsch?

Maybe you are also the person to ask: Why are “you” (bing) blurring military areas and google does not? (if you can’t answer this question, it’s also ok - but we (OSM Germany) were just wondering…)

Brilliant - here is the updated status map: http://imageshack.us/a/img856/919/statusal.jpg
Green is acquired, Yellow is being flown, Red to be acquired in Sept/Oct - weather permitting.

Ich spreche besser Englisch, ich bin Kanadier, sondern studierte Germanistik in der Schule.

That’s a better question for BKG; that is something out of our control.

Wow, great. Thanks a lot…so don’t need to cut the meadow tomorrow…you alread have the image. We never had a guy like you here so apologise if we are asking too many questions. I have another one (or two). Is there any plan to update the arial images in eastern and south east europe? And my second one, please don’t misunderstand me, how did you find the way to this forum?

Great so Germany is mostly done, “only” missing the Alpes, Hamburg and North Rhine-Westfalia.

Even greater. 19.August had over 35 degree celsius => no clouds :slight_smile:

No plans as of right now, but conditions could change in the future. I found this forum by way of research; I am working on something that could be of benefit to OSM community and wanted to understand the current pain points and issues. I happened to stumble upon this. I am not affiliated with bing, nor would this research/project I am working on.

2 more (technical) questions:
a) 15 cm - as planned for germany - has been abandoned, right?
b) when measuring the pixel width (in josm) I got nearly 40 cm. Do we really “loose” 10 cm through transformation process(es)?

A question I asked myself when trying to map ways in the woods: why don’t you fly in the winter when there are less leafs on the trees?
