Hi All, The guys at MapBox posted a link to their aerial imagery. As expected (and mentioned in their blog post), Europe is still only low resolution images, but you can zoom further in on USA: http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/geoeye.map-0zmhzttc.html#6.00/54.441/-1.611 When Europe gets updated,

[Talk-GB] Missing/blank tiles
