Windows Live Local - Virtual Earth Preview Technology
Windows Live Local : A simple superb creation from Microsoft. It is based on the Microsoft Map ,but a bit more interesting. The service will initially target San Francisco and Seattle only due to the massive number of images needed to support make it work .
It offers fabulous views , a Race car , Sports car and simple walking view. The zoom can be controled by scroller of the mouse . While at some level it offers few superb snaps of the city on the above portion of the map.
When in the Car mode, browse through the page while dragging the car or use arrow keys, when the head light is switched on the image infront of the car, will be shown in the above portion. Its like playing a game. :)
Simply Marvelous !
