Bing is great, but everyone naturally starts with Google, thats the problem.

Been using msft birds eye view since late 2005 or so heavily since I’m into real estate as well.

Nothing really new…

Another interesting thing: Most of the MS mapping tool features work only with, guess what? !

Microsoft Internet Explorer!, the most buggy and security-holes featured browser.

When MS will learn that open systems are needed ! argh!

The sample you give is very good.

But if I check where I live, not only Google maps can zoom the satellite view really much more than Bing but the “Birds eye view” is not available there, look likes it’s only available at the center of the city.

So probably depending where one want to watch sometimes one is better and sometimes the other. A good thing to know

Thanks to your friend for the tip and to you for have shared.
