Could anyone kindly check these San Francisco salt flats textures? I have flown in the area other times but never noticed them. If the problem is only mine, it could be some addon’s fault.
The exact location is 37.494937, -122.205330 just a few miles southeast from San Francisco Intl (KSFO). Thanks you!

Can anyone verify this?
Seems to be a photogrammetry error. When you disable it it looks like this. Guess it’s a bad join up with the photogrammetry and non photogrammetry part with different levels of salt.

With photogrammetry turned off it’s also okay at my console.

Why is bing maps not showing it properly??
The website version of Bing maps doesn’t show any 3d photogrammetry, just 2d aerial imagery. Most photogrammetry is taken from separate imagery data from a bunch of various angles to generate the 3d data and it can look quite different from the top down flat 2d aerial imagery, especially if there’s a big time gap between the two. You can see 3d cities in the Maps program on Windows but for some reason it isn’t showing San Fran photogrammetry for me there either. (well can’t see any of the 3d cities for some reason, seems to be an error somewhere)
Anyway the problem here seems to be that the salt ponds are right on the border of a photogrammetry region and regular top down aerial imagery region and the level of salt evaporation is different between the two imagery sets used so you end up with this funky looking mess.
