Bing Maps has been hosting ‘bird’s-eye-view” photographs for some time now, offering a unique service above that of Google Maps. Well, they have recently upped the ante by weaving bird’s eye view images with satellite images into a Simcity canvas, shown in that distinctive axonometric projection. Some very sophisticated software combines geo-imagery of many sources into a somewhat seamless tapestry. I expect that more and more sources will be woven in soon.
I am thankful that a second party besides Google is also producing high quality, free online mapping tools. You can explore their bird’s-eye-view projections online, but not using Google Chrome… Internet Explorer is recommended.
