IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Bing Maps is used for locating of sites for the various projects we work on. It is also used to obtain directions and the distance to travel to these sites across Africa. Using the aerial background backdrop and street views allow us to determine the layout of the site and and characteristics of the terrain and surrounding services, and what the land is like in a preliminary state before we go to the actual site.
Pros
- provides clear directions
- street views allow preliminary identification of site layout and surrounding services
- clear background aerial imagery
Cons
- include more features
- make it compatible with other data that can be imported
Likelihood to Recommend
Bing Maps gives access to clear background aerial imagery. The imagery and street views are quite up to date which helps quite a bit. There should, however, be more features included on Bing Maps.
