Clinton National Library, Little Rock, AR on Bing Maps. Montana State Capitol Building, Helena, MT on Bing Maps. Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI, on Bing Maps. Here are some great examples of the recent Bird’s Eye imagery that has been released to Bing Maps:Ĭoit Tower, San Francisco, CA, on Bing Maps. The Bing Maps team is committed to making maps and imagery accessible through a variety of methods so you can deliver it to your users in easy and compelling ways. While Bird’s Eye has always been available in the Bing Maps Web Control and via direct tile access in the Bing Maps REST Get Imagery Metadata API, we’re excited to announce we now make this imagery available as static maps in the Bing Maps REST Get a Static Map API. The recent release of new Bird’s Eye over the last few months represents approximately 50,000 square kilometers of new Bird’s Eye imagery spanning 70 cities in the United States. Geotagged photo platform Mapillary had opened its street-level imagery to OpenStreetMap editors as far back as 2014 too.Since our blog post in July highlighting new Bird’s Eye imagery, we’ve released more of our high resolution oblique 45-degree angle aerial Bird’s Eye imagery and just want to make sure you’re aware of this continued imagery expansion. The service was later rebranded as OpenStreetCam, at Google’s request. It was basically a crowdsourced version of Google Street View, with users invited to upload imagery snapped on their mobile phones. OpenStreetCamĪ couple of years back, a dedicated OSM team at location-services giant Telenav announced OpenStreetView (OSV), a completely “free and open street-level imagery platform” designed for OpenStreetMap. In many ways, OSM is as good as Google Maps in terms of global coverage, but Google has other related smarts that set it apart - such as Google Earth and Street View, which offers users panoramic street-level imagery of roads, countryside, mountains, and more.
For context, OSM doesn’t garner the same kind of attention as other mapping platforms, chiefly because it’s not designed as a consumer-focused service - it’s more of a backend that developers can use to integrate mapping services into their own applications.
