They haven't taken it out specifically to get small villages. Most likely they've paid for a strip which includes both places. As far as I can see, only Budapest and Pécs areas are covered.
That doesn't sound like particularly special treatment. It seems very random which places get covered and which don't. E.g. Birmingham - one of Europe's largest conurbations - much bigger than Zagreb - similar in size to Budapest - hasn't got Yahoo high-res imagery. You'd have to ask Yahoo what their reasons for choosing a certain city over another. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
