Birdseye View #2

Closed alexdingis closed 8 years ago

alexdingis commented 8 years ago

Is 'birdseye' view an acceptable input instead of 'aerial', 'aerial with labels' or 'road'?

Just looked into this. It is not working because according to the docs requests for metadata for Birdseye layers need a center-point. The code needs updating to make multiple metadata requests as the map moves. Will take a look at this in the next couple of weeks, unless anyone else feels like having a go and submitting a pull request :)

According to this Microsoft post Birdseye imagery is not available through REST services because of licensing issues, so unfortunately neither BirdseyeWithLabels nor Birdseye will work. I will update the docs.
