A Neat Image and Map Related Feature on the New "Bing" Search Engine
We just discovered a neat and new little feature on the new Bing search engine from Microsoft. It actually maps images to a location on a MS Virtual Earth map. From what we can tell, it's only working for several major U.S. cities at this time but it wouldn't be a stretch to see more cities coming
Here's how to see it in action:
+ Run a Bing image search for a city. Let's try New York City.
+ Next, look for the "show map" link located below the search box.
+ Click the link
Now you should see a map of New York with various images placed on it. For example, take a look at the image of the Statue of Liberty. It's placed where it's actually located on the map. Cursor over the image and you'll see the name of the location.
