Au Seeker Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Here's a link to Bing Maps,http://www.bing.com/maps/Bing doesn't have topos, but I found this blog on how to overlay "ESRI tiles" onto Bing maps, I don't know much about what the blog talks about, but if you do maybe it will help.http://alastaira.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/displaying-open-street-map-and-esri-tiles-on-bing-maps-ajax-v7/ Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick in Havasu Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hello Allen. I'm not sure about Bing's topo, but their "Birds Eye View", where applicable, works great.http://www.bing.com/maps/?FORM=Z9LH4Patrick..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I just tried the Bing sat imaging and it totally sucks compared to google earth .... Resolution is about 25% of GE ... On Bing I can barely make out the image of my house ... On GE I can see my dog in the back yard! For me, Bing is worthless in identifying mineral features ... GE has put me onto several ounces of the happy yella! Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick in Havasu Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hello Ron. Were you using the Birds Eye?.....I have used it around Lake Havasu, and it's much better than GE. Perhaps your area isn't available? I'm not sure just how widespread it is at this time.Patrick..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DolanDave Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 When your on Bing try the Aerial, instead of the birds eye, the clarity is much better. I have been using it for 6 months now to zoom in on places of interest that I see on google earth.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
