that explains the rough landings I guess… 
My very first message here was about that, when they announced the BingMap photos, I came and said “yeah, thanks, but meh, really meh”
check the Swiss examples I gave back then, they are bluffing. Ah, the things you can do when you hoard gold… for centuries 
In Su’s tool, the photos (in france / europe) are average at best, and often outdated. and I’m curious as where the 3d data comes from, I get why forests and buildings can make it look bumpy, but water ?
