Get a Bird’s Eye View

by Jason Bean on May 31st, 2006

Was just playing around with Windows Live Local. Sure it’s a lot like Google Maps / Google Local, but the clarity on Microsoft’s Live Local is very impressive. The picture below is a screen capture looking at my house. I’m zoomed in the closest I can get on both services.

Satellite View

Google is on the left, Microsoft is on the right. Pretty clear to me which one wins the clarity contest. I do like Google Maps for the mapping functionality itself though.
