It would be possible to use the same logic I used for the tile generator in the Bing Imagery Analyzer http://mvexel.dev.openstreetmap.org/bing/?lat=28.417946&lon=-81.491858&zoom=20
Something like: editor / plugin asks tile.php for number of zoom levels remaining, if number is 0 then overzoom, otherwise get tile from bing. There is already a non-image output mode for tile.php that I use for debugging, see for example http://mvexel.dev.openstreetmap.org/bing/tile.php?t=0320213022203100&nodepth=&debug=1 Feel free to fork on https://github.com/mvexel/bingimageanalyzer Martijn van Exel +++...@rtijn.org laziness – impatience – hubris http://schaaltreinen.nl | http://martijnvanexel.nl | http://oegeo.wordpress.com/ twitter / skype: mvexel flickr: rhodes On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 5:23 PM, Toby Murray <toby.mur...@gmail.com> wrote: > I assume because 18 is what is available in most of the world and most > people prefer to be able to overzoom aerial imagery a little instead > of getting blank tiles.
