For a certain general area, you have to try a few requests to get a feel for the relationship between the number of titles and the estimated download size, which Basecamp does report before you finalize the request. So you have to play a guessing game if you want to maximize your request size. Unfortunately, Basecamp doesn't tell you how many tiles you have selected until after the download starts, and doesn't warn you when you exceed the request limit- instead, if you select too many tiles at the highest setting, it automatically and without warning downloads at a lower resolution. But what I've found, as have others, is that there is a limit of about 5,000 map tiles that can be downloaded in one request. I'm downloading images in the US, so I can't say for sure that the service for Europe works the same way. This problem happens with both the current and beta releases of basecamp Is this a real fault (definately appears to be) or does anyone have any other ideas?:confused: I notice that others have also noted this problem e.g. jnx file transferred to the garmin memory card of 4206KB in size.clearly incorrect for the settings I chose!:eek: I even video'd an attempt (using bandicam software) confirming a download size of 198MB, at highest detail setting, covering 165 sq km.this took 23 seconds :eek: and produced a. In basecamp it was very clear that these recent downloads were, as expected, very low detail, however the overlapping last weeks download was visibly much higher in resolution.something not right here! One of these attempts even overlapped with my download last week. jnx file transferred over to the garmin's memory card was suspiciously low (around 4000KB in size). However, the last couple of days I have been trying to download larger coverage areas of glasgow city (up to 200MB) and noticed that at each attempt (at highest detail level) the size of the. Basecamp confirmed the expected high res image (comparable to the same google maps image). Last week I downloaded (at highest resolution) a small area of glasgow city centre,uk, and placed this on the memory card in my garmin 550t.

Bird’s Eye imagery is also featured at /maps. Bird’s Eye is available in the Bing Maps Web Control and Bing Maps REST Imagery API, allowing you multiple ways to offer this rich set of aerial imagery to your customers and users. This Bird’s Eye imagery is sub-10 CM GSD (ground sample distance), which allows us to support more detailed levels of map zoom. In this effort, we’re excited to say we’ve released approximately 102,000 square kilometers of new Bird’s Eye imagery spanning 100+ cities in the United States over the last several months with more to come.īird’s Eye is a great complement to ortho (top down) imagery because it has much more depth and provides all four angled views of your destination or area of interest. Over the last 12 months we’ve been busy releasing refreshed and expanded Bird’s Eye imagery and we want to make sure our customers and users are aware of the progress we’ve been making. Bing Maps is still as committed as ever to offering fresh high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery. Bing Maps was one of the first mapping services on the web to offer oblique 45-degree angle aerial imagery, also known as Bird’s Eye.
