Windows Live Local.... WOW!
The battle between Google and Microsoft over mapping continues. I was a little skeptical when the big announcement about Windows Live Local was made. I mean, we've already seen everything, right?
Well, I went to the site, typed in my address, and then saw a notice that a Bird's Eye View was available in my area. "What's this?" I asked myself. I didn't get a reply.
Now, both Google Maps and Keyhole...er, Google Earth... have pretty sucky imagery for my neck of the woods. So, I was expecting pretty low-res results.
Lo and behold, there's actually kick-ass aircraft imagery of my neighborhood!
