      • I think that the Ability to "Rollback" on a project would be good, and to have different revisions ( so you can always referance back to a baseline, previous save ) might also be helpful. Also, the ability to leave yourself project specific notes might also be handy ( in case you have to leave a project half done etc ) Just ideas that I thought might help make Poyfly even bette

      • Folks, Is there any way in the VE API to query for whether imagery is available at a particular zoom level and lat/long I'm showing closeup maps, and I'd really like to not show a map (or show it at a different zoom) if imagery isn't there. I don't see anything in the API, but I might just be missing it. Does anyone else know if it's there Thanks, Sasha.
