[OSGeo Africa] Request for Freely Available Aerial Imagery covering Zimbabwe

[E. Ndava]

Thanks Gerhardus for the response.

My drawback is also bandwidth hence am looking at a onceoff download
for off line access, in the manner one would SRTM tiles
(http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/SELECTION/inputCoord.asp).

Is there such an option for Bing Maps aerial?

Regards,

Erick.
