Hi Enock,
On that same "Background settings" tab in iD at the very bottom it says
"Fix Alignment"
click on that and 4 "arrows" will appear, use them to move the
background image around until it matches up with the already drawn
buildings.
Then just close up that background tab and start mapping.
you are only "adjusting" the background alignment for yourself for that
session, the next time you open a task square in the task you will have
to "fix alignment" again.
and it doesn't affect anyone else so no worries there.
(if you are using JOSM, you can do the same there, here are the
directions for that:

Cheers,
Blake

Hi Blake,
Thanks for your comments.
Yeah Bing has hi-res images for the area. But the problem is Bing is not
aligning with DigitalGlobe traces.
Buildings especially are off that of Bing imagery.

Hi again Enock,
I should have said: Bing has good imagery from 2013 for parts of that
task :) The other parts are from 2011.
cheers,
Blake

Hi All,
Am Enock from Ghana.
Checking task manager to see if some tasks have been set up, I came
across this [1] Wanted to reach out to the one who set it up but no
success. The imagery url provided seems not to work and mapsforall's
website is in a language I can't tell.
Can someone help me out.
