Virtual Earth Data Refresh/Release – December, 2008

There has been some housecleaning done the last 2 months with some of the Virtual Earth road network data. 

  • Global vector data updates.
  • Multi-lingual tile sets for all zoom levels (French, Italian, German, Spanish).
  • Japan localized tile sets.
  • All oblique (Bird’s Eye) photography reprocessed with new road labels (minus Japan).

As a result there’s a 48TB big December refresh/release of all tile sets where vector information is included (Road, Hybrid Aerial, and Hybrid Bird’s Eye), with new data source for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia, Greece, Hungary, Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia.

How come there aren't any Bird's Eyes in France?

There is BirdEyes in France: have you tried Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseille... Indeed, Paris is not available, and that's a shame.
