As we've said many times, if you've never used the aerial and "bird's eye" imagery (global in scope) from Bing Maps, you should. We think you'll be more than impressed. Today, the Bing Maps blog announced the new/updated imagery for the month of December. If you want to see something really "cool" make sure to look for "Bird's Eye" imagery and the new Streetside imagery available for selected areas.
Another month goes by and another few hundred thousand square kilometers of Bing Maps imagery hits the web – more than 274,000 square kilometers in fact. December was a big month for Bird’s Eye and although we just launched Streetside, we’ll continue to add more cities every month. We added / updated 27 counties across Texas, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina, Illinois, Washington D.C. and Oklahoma with fresh new Bird’s Eye photos (33,520 sq. km.). 151 cities across Russia, Poland and Turkey were updated with new aerial (ortho) imagery (240,739 sq. km.). And, finally, we added 1.1 TB of new Streetside imagery of which I’ll get you the location details in a future post.
