Microsoft Corp. is releasing an updated version of its mapping service with street-level views and new “apps” that tack on tweets, traffic and other location-specific data.
The new version of Bing Maps, released Wednesday in a “beta” test mode, offers slicker technology so users can zoom in more smoothly from the high-up graphical map to the close-up views showing actual streets from a pedestrian or driver’s viewpoint.
With this version of Bing Maps, Microsoft matches Google Inc. in sending cars with cameras down streets to capture images of every block. Microsoft is offering that in 56 U.S. cities for now, while Google has hit all 50 states and expanded the feature overseas.
Microsoft also used lasers to scan the buildings and constructed a three-dimensional map of those cities.

Makasih infonya mas Fatih…
yeah this is good….
Berita yang bagus, bagaimana dengan Indonesia?…kira – kipa bisa masuk kedalam programnya enggak ya
nice info………
The matches between google and bing is more sharp, brother.
Wow, it seems to me that Google Earth has now discovered its equal opponent. But wait a minute…using a laser to scan a building? Does it sound scary? Privacy violation? A burglar can access that and what will happen next? A robber can use this app to know the details of a bank building and locate a safe where money and valuable goods are kept. I may sound paranoid, but that’s possible, isn’t it?
It will certainly arrive in Indonesia in the near future
Google walk more front
Thanks for the story…Island of Guam.
