It's CAD map with orthophoto I think it is airphoto, that is why it is so detailed... t's an insome sort of CAD map program.... I think the district of Bogota hosts and you need to have an sort of a a viewer installed.

The level of information is amazing, not just the orthophoto..they've got layers galore. Gimme a few mins and I'll post the link.

You have to install a mapguide viewer (AutoCAD product).

Google. The satellite photos of Bogotá you are referring to are indeed almost completely with clouds. However, the North (from Calle 100 and upwards) is available in high resolution detail and cloudless: (long link!)

How is it going?
Just a How is it going?

Just a quick note, to get the orthophoto on the IDU site you need to zoom into a scale of 1:2000 or so.

This map has layers showing the estratos, exisitng anf future parks, transmilenio & cyclorutas, services (ie health, recreation centres, social services, police, etc), Various road classifications, rivers, etc.

To see the layers available (once you have the mapguide viewer installed), click on the "Ver" abnd then the icon that is the the right of the "X", then zoom in using the "+", zoom in until the orthophoto appears and then pan around the city.. It's very cool.

Thur, it the images appear to be different.. the one on the IDU site is an an ortho... the one you have directed us to (woohoo colour) looks more recent - imho satellite tho with the cloud? But great quality.
