Hi, I have been trying to find the background imagery date for particular tiles in Afghanistan. I have tried "Show tile info" in JOSM and Command+Shift+B in OSM to get the metadata information but it does not contain the imagery date. I have also clicked on "Show Tiles" in OSM but the tiles say "Vintage Unknown". Is there any other way to find this information? Thanks in advance. |
As you do not give any indication of which background imagery you are referring to, it isn't posibble to give you a concrete answer other than to point out that only Bing provides an API to determine dates for tiles from their mosaic. Naturally individual, non-mosaic sources will typically have a date associated for the whole layer, which you can find on josm.openstreetmap.de |
