Today I was looking at an area in the Valais that never before had Bing imagery, and I got high resolution images! I zoomed in and out and dragged the map, and it seems that we have total coverage as promised on the Swiss OSMA site:
"Switzerland currently has only partial coverage by Bing aerial imagery (see coverage maphttp://ant.dev.openstreetmap.org/bingimageanalyzer/?lat=46.72618834060803&lon=8.811132812500006&zoom=8). This is slated to improve by the end of 2012, however this may be delayed and medium term we can only expect infrequent updates."

Please don't forget to go ouside and to add street names. Armchair mapping is all fine and dandy, but without the names not exactly useful: http://qa.poole.ch/ch-roads/

I have just spent a couple of hours improving Arolla (VS) ... many paths I had mapped with my GPSr were going through buildings :(
Since most of my mapping is done in the US I am used to Bing, but seeing Arolla in high resolution for the first time was a revelation.
Happy (re)mapping!!
