Hi team,

I'm building an app that uses the Azure Map API, however it seems that the Satellite image is out of date.
As you can see below, the first image is from the Azure maps demo is up-to-date (as compared to google maps), compared to the second image shows what is returned from the Azure Maps API.

Is there an option to ensure that the latest data is returned by default?

    One thing to check. The Azure Maps Web SDK is using version 2.1 of the render map tile service: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/render-v2/get-map-tile If you are using version 1 of the render map tile imagery service, that may be the reason for the difference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/render/get-map-imagery-tile

    Hi Keagan,

    Thank you for reporting the issue. Can you please share the specific region (latitude, longitude or address) you were looking at? Please also confirm the API you were using.
