Updating an industrial area near a motorway exit of Giulianova where first mapping took place in 2010. Now 15 years later the world and landuse looks in many places quite different, all that green paved and plastered over. Seeing a new plant, compared and got this (what I long know and long decided to not use but for ‘way back’ checking) ESRI Clarity, with a tile date metadata stamp of 200. The red lined area where the newish plant is.
Then when looking at regular ESRI and BING the new plant is revealed, and oh dear, the Bing tile is of 2023.
And regular ESRI, supposedly, of 2023.
And what the source says we’re not allowed to use, nothing there in 2010, or 2018, but in 2024…
Since the bulk of the area was mapped using Clarity, I’ve mapped the adds using Bing and then aligned it to Clarity, edit saved to disk and on hold for committing, else all the new stuff would be overlying roads and parkings all over the place and redoing the whole… volunteers w/ spare time are welcome. The location is on my infinite list of places to visit, when by chance passing there, and switch the helm-cam on, snap button on the handle bar for record, as that’s I truly trust (The GPX only by approximation).
Errata: Found this in ID Editor with Mapbox as background. The new plant area looks suspiciously highlighted. Did not know how to get timestamps in ID, so asked my AI friend telling it’s Ctrl+Shft+B… “vintage unknown”.
Found the region’s orthophoto website for public use recorded in 2018-2019 but no clue how to get this into JOSM, certainly more up to date than Italy PCN 2006 and 2012 which shows farmland too for the area of interest.
