What's Wrong With Bing Maps?

Posted by Yoshinion on 17 January 2017 in English.

Gah! The Bing overlay is acting up again. On specific ways, the bing maps does not load that way into the overlay maker thing… and I believe the specific ways change every time I load the iD OSM editor. How can I fix it? Is it something with my network (CCS Schools/TWC?) or is it with OSM itself?

P.S.: I can’t change the “home” location… I have moved, and I can’t change my “home” location from my old house to my new one. I moved in the beginning of September and I still cannot change the “home” location. Is this a problem that I can fix?

The Bing overlay “acting up” is due to bandwith limitations between you and Bing (a Microsoft entity). OSM is not responsible for this.

Have you tried other aerial imagery such as Mapbox? Both are slow to load initially, but fast once the cache is built up.

You should be able to change your location under your account in “My Settings.” be sure to save the change after you move your marker.

Best, Clifford
