Virtual earth

Postby Rui » Fri Apr 18, 2008 2:12 pm

hello there,

I'm posting because of new program that i've just found last week, its an amazing program and similar to google earth, i guess that belongs to microsoft and its called "virtual earth", i would say that in global terms is exactly the same thing, the best thing is that allows you to have "bird's eye view" with greta quality, i could even identify the cars parked here in my company :lol: , so i'll be waiting from news of your experience using this program... :wink: ,

now i cant write because my boss is calling me :mrgreen:

Probably it wont work for me. Therefore I would like to know, Does it have same quality as their web based map in bird eye view? http://maps.live.com/Default.aspx

While some metropolitan looks sharper in microsoft's maps. My home town looks in google maps better than in microsoft's map.

I tried it months ago. Back then, only some big cities in the USA were available. I went to San Francisco, since having been there recently I thought it would be fun. But I wasn't quite ready for what I saw! It was amazing.

yeah dixie, its really amazing the quality you can get with the option "bird's eye", and you should try it again because i think its already possible to watch barcelona with that feature.
