Bing Maps aerial imagery on ArcGIS Online

Question

Is there a vector footprint or other similar data for the Bing Maps aerial imagery available on ArcGIS Online.  The imagery is fairly current and at a good resolution, but it would help me a lot if I could see what the current coverage is.  Thanks

Bing aerial imagery is acquired by digital globe and by later this year they will have 100% coverage of continental us at 30cm res.  check digital globe precision imagery if you want to know more.  from my experience, bing is middle man and has no idea whats going on.  digital globe is the brains.  ...still happy though that they are providing such high res imagery.

Esri doesn't manage any information about Bing content... Perhaps you can check the Bing blog referenced here:

Hope this helps,
