@amapanda there is still hope

@amapanda never used this (for germany / NRW)

@amapanda I cannot use it since about 3 months ago...

@amapanda In #Czechia, we can use aerial imagery provided by ČÚZK (~ Czech Geodetic and Cadastral Office). And specifically in #Prague, there are two imageries (summer and winter) provided by IPR (~ Institute for Planning and Development ... a city-owned organization).

These imageries are more recent and more precise than Microsoft's one. I think that it's much more better way to request public administration bodies to provide such imageries than to rely on the ones provided by private companies.

@amapanda In mice ^w josm :)

iD should be good for a while yet.

@amapanda hmmm... probably Bing's Streetside would be the same as well (no longer perfectly working in JOSM but A-OK in iD and its derivatives)

@amapanda giant corporation Microsoft does not give a shit about Openstreetmap afterall

@amapanda it needs to be said, regardless of if MS are the baddies, the goodies, or more likely something in between, we are creating the problem for ourselves by making ourselves dependent on one specific source.

@amapanda

Hier sieht man wieder wie wichtig #Opendata von offiziellen amtlichen Stellen, wie dem @bmdv, dem @mid_lsa sind.

Wir sind an dieser Stelle sehr froh und dankbar über die Luftbildabdeckung durch das LVermGeo in OSM in Sachsen-Anhalt. 👍

Großkonzerne können jederzeit generös Daten zu spenden, aber sie können es auch jederzeit einfach so einseitig wieder stoppen. #OSM #openstreetmap

@amapanda Ugh, almost all maps in Indonesia are using Bing for mapping. The rest of the maps have ±4 meters offset. I doubt that casual users here even know how to calibrate it.
