Hi folks, The BING Maps people have just released another map update dated<br />

January 18, 2010.<br />

1. In terms of first t<strong>im</strong>e high resolution we can now see the former SW<br />

site of: Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in Russia. From the Excel files we have the<br />

coordinates as:<br />

46 50 33 N 142 53 05 E Many masts can still be seen. Hopefully Victor &<br />

<strong>Wolfgang</strong> can tell us more about the site & its antennas. Also if anyone<br />

can tell us the date of the last SW BCB transmission from this site, we be<br />

pleased to hear from you.<br />

2. EXTRACT FROM BING MAPS BLOG.<br />

The Bing Maps <strong>im</strong>agery release for January 2010 release is SO BIG we had to<br />

break it into two parts - not kidding! The January 2010 Part 1 release is<br />

558,000 square kilometers of <strong>im</strong>agery consisting of:<br />

* Germany's Ruhrgebiet<br />

* Belgium<br />

* Vancouver - Sea to Sky Hwy to Squamish and beyond<br />

* Additional <strong>im</strong>agery scattered throughout Russia, Bulgaria, Hungary,<br />

Poland, Latvia and Turkey.<br />

Re: Bing maps. Bing Maps in Germany version is very, very SLOW !<br />

at least 30 x t<strong>im</strong>es slower, compared to Google Earth / maps. Like a 16 MHz<br />

notebook of 1991 year !<br />

Bing Maps English version is a little bit faster, but Microsoft has very<br />

little streetsi<strong>de</strong> <strong>im</strong>ages yet...<br />

* Germany's Ruhrgebiet<br />

* Belgium<br />

* Luxembourg<br />

Always answered "There is no streetsi<strong>de</strong> near here"; and the red pass<br />

through traffic sign occured...<br />

* Vancouver - Sea to Sky Hwy to Squamish and beyond.<br />

Vancouver ist the correct ONLY streetsi<strong>de</strong> <strong>im</strong>age I found.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
