Yes, it is suspicious that the Quickmap does not have this area imaged yet, but you could always ask the LRO team when they intend to fill in the gaps to Tycho crater and see what the answer is. Also, there may be other less pixellated images out there.
I've already emaild LRO Team, one year ago, when I stumbled upon that thread of Tycho and after my own research in LRO... and find "nothing": ONLY a Black AREA.
I'm still waiting their answer on WHY, exactly that AREA inside Tycho (THE CENTRAL PEAK) was, NOT IMAGED.
Maybe Today.... or Tomorrow... I will recieve their answer...? I'm confident....

Arken, The coordinates from your first image are not in the location that is not mapped properly. You can clearly see the coordinates in your first image are Lat -43.1457, Lon -11.4226 and that area is clearly imaged.
Then when nothing is there, you notice another area, hundreds of meters away from the original area is pixelated and are now suddenly claiming THAT IS THE AREA!!!

Your attempt at deception is funny.
Here is your original post:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
The coordinates listed in that image are Lat -43.1457, Lon -11.4226 at an elevation of 3000 meters.
Going to that loc in the quick map shows a fully mapped area.
Now if you zoom out, you will see that about 3000 ft away from that area is a pixelated area. So you basically moved your target location almost a mile away, because you know that the original location is mapped and clearly shows nothing but rocks.
Here is the Screenshot of you original area:

Notice the coordinates MATCH your original image.

yes, Erik, but in other areas they are duplicating the ground images, so what's with that? If they think this is acceptable, then they will never ever get around to imaging the areas they have not covered. So I guess either your assumption is incorrect that they will get around to it soon, or else they will just post a duplicate image of the next-door slice.
You can see why there are so many people who believe that NASA are hiding something if they do this kind of thing.
Actually, I reckon many of the areas are not over pixellated but just plain poor quality when they have far better quality ones available. These days (and in those days when they launched the satellite) they can photograph a spot on a gnats bum if the want to, but from a security point of view, it is not acceptable to release images of that clarity.edit on 19 Jul 2013 by qmantoo because: pixellated images
The government uses students as well as professors to do their work for them. I have been a moderator on other forums where the IP address of a shill clearly comes from a well known university. They often get grant money from the government etc so it is quite possible and likely that there are paid disinformers working at universities. Obviously not all students/professors work for the gov but clearly some do. There is no distiction between NASA and the universities unfortunately.
That would be the handful of students and staff at the Arizona State University that have done that......not NASA.

In my opinion, I have seen evidence which shows there are still doctored basemaps not just due to overlaying tiles and satellite strips like this but also blacked-out areas on the ground. The honest thing to do would be to include lesser resolution strips of the areas. At least that would provide some coverage. There is no excuse for covering up areas with duplicates.

There was a very interesting article posted on here about how they don't have enough people to scan all the new images that come in to them somewhere here on ATS from several months ago.
That's whom you'd have to complain to as they are the ones that publish and maintain all the images located at the quick maps.
