Locked Missing aerial tiles

    I’ve noticed that there are some tiles missing around 47.04000° N 12.25000° E: type the coordinates in the search bar at bing.com/maps and then zoom in until the scale in the bottom right hand corner reads 2000 feet or 500m. Do you know when this issue will be resolved?

    Can you use a tool like fiddler or chromes developer toolbar to identify the exact tiles causing your issue. You should be able to see each file requested by your browser using one of these tools and then be able to see one of the image tiles (the map tile thats missing). If you can paste the full tile url here then we may be able to help you further

    Yeah! right now we don't restrict the zoom level when aerial imagery is not available. Road tiles should come fine though. The missing imagery is mostly in remote areas. Said that, We certainly would try to improve user experience here in future.

    Thanks for reporting.
