As I warned a couple of months ago we've today removed the Bing aerial photography layer as Microsoft have taken it offline.

In its place, for supporters only we are now offering Google imagery.

For now ESRI imagery remains available for all logged in users.

I'm sorry we've had to do this but the replacement Azure aerial photography layer was simply too expensive and Microsoft were charging us far too much money, even with only supporters using it.

We continue to search out new layers however.
