Recently (in May or some time earlier), southern Sweden (as well as many other
locations) got new Mapbox imagery in many areas that earlier only had very low
resolution imagery. The resolution is not super hi-res, but workable and much
better than nothing. At best, it looks like this:
http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/hires%20mapbox.png
This imagery covers a large area, but in some places, the highest resolution
seemingly refuses to load (like Mapbox haven't imported all zoom levels). It
certainly looks like it's the same photography session:
http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/hilowres%20mapbox.png (yes, I have tried
to reload imagery, try for yourselves at this area:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/56.15778/13.75513 )
In other places, where there was imagery before this big update, the old poor
imagery replaces the better imagery on higher zoom levels. For example here,
where the zoomed out imagery looks like it should be of higher resolution than
what replaces it when zoomed in (poor black and white imagery): zoomed out:
http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/highres%20zoomed%20out%20mapbox.png , same
area zoomed in:
http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/lowres%20zoomed%20in%20mapbox.png
I have already tried contacting Mapbox about this (about a month ago) but got
no reply.
I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this situation!
Regards
Andreas
PS: In contacting Mapbox. I had to create a Mapbox account. Does anyone know
what's going on? Are they going to upload the higher resolution tiles that they
probably have? Does anyone have a way to contact Mapbox about this that will
actually go to someone who works with this? The contact options for OSM mappers
who use Mapbox imagery seem to be very limited. I had to create an account and
lie about my occupation (because they forced me to choose between very few
different job titles when creating the account). Also, the contact form didn't
seem to take OSM questions into account at all.
