While using BING aireals, I want to be able to view historic data. Is that currently an option?

    Unfortunately MapInfo Pro Bing services only displays the latest satellite imagery only.

    I understand it is currently unavailable.  I want someone to understand how important historic imagery is.  The ability to access historic data when looking at emergency response, environmental status.  To see the current forest and looking at the forest last year, seeing the annual or even triannual change of the inland waterways? is an important tool for development and planning.

    Agree that this level of content is not available with the embedded Bing imagery today, another approach is to check if you can find the data hosted in WMTS (hosted map tiles)? MapInfo Pro is really flexible in consuming data from a wide variety of web mapping sources & integrating it alongside other datasets. Can you access the data as raster images? MapInfo Pro supports 30+ image formats which can be opened & georeferenced against existing vector layers.
