I've been checking through Berlin, and I realized we need to move a LOT of files to the outdated section. But right now I'm busy finding my own files. =)

Parts of Barbados seem to be as well. The previously clear image of a great hotel I stayed in last year is now covered by cloud!

Default Quality of new London imagery

The resolution is great - but unfortunately the data was captured during last winter (trees mostly leafless) on a day and at a time when the sun was very low in the sky. As a result, every building casts a shadow about three times as long as itself. Result - lots of features are completely obscured and I think the overall image quality is, in most urban areas, worse than before.

What a pity.

There are also updates in New Zealand. Parts of the majestic fjordland and scattered patches across the South Island are now in high resolution (including the famous Routeburn Track, but not the Milford Sound or Track).
