Microsoft Breathless About Latest, Largest Imagery Update to Bing

Remote Sensing

Our MS PR contact e-mailed to tell us about Chris Pendleton's blog post. Interestingly, MS didn't e-mail us about the Navizon deal noted earlier this week.

Last month we pushed out our largest amount of new imagery EVER in terms of square kilometers. This month, we’re blowing THAT record out of the water. You thought 1 million+ sq. km. was large? How about 6.7 million square kilometers! It’s pretty much unfathomable. The big winners? Aerial: The Russian Federation, Australia, Mexico and most places in the US where we had black and white imagery. Bird’s Eye: Sweden.

Well, that's deserved.

When was the last time any another source posted so much high-resolution aerial content for all the world to use?

There's a curious pattern here - maybe I'm wrong, but it's almost as if the 'professional GIS' community is holding its collective breath and waiting for the data to stop. I think it's going to speed up. They've certainly left almost every (civil) government program behind in the speed and extent of acquisitions.

Interesting there appears to be so little uptake of their content...or maybe we'll start to see a bunch more now that ESRI is 'giving it away' as well.
