Bing Satellite Imagery

2014 Update

Bing has updated the imagery for the whole city. There is no longer a split in the city. All mapping can be done with no offset!

• Note: There is a small strip of old imagery at certain zoom levels starting at Walker & 14th NE heading south. If you continue to zoom in however, it mostly re-renders to the newer imagery.

2013

Initially the roads had been traced from Bing maps. Some time in early 2013 Bing updated part of Swift Current with a new image covering most of the city. The East border of the new satellite image ran between 13th Ave NE and 14th Ave NE. The new image (Jun/2012) did not align with the older image (Jul/2005). To prove which map was correct, several GPS points and tracks (ways) were taken.

Without a doubt the GPS showed that the new image covering most of Swift Current was aligned correctly, while the older image was not. The roads were therefore misaligned.

On 3/18/2013 all roads in the Swift Current area were therefore realigned to match the new imagery, and have closer alignment with GPS.
