Birds Eye View in Live Maps

by eunmac on September 26, 2008

The fairly new Birds Eye feature in Live maps went by a rather unnoticed so whilst I’m trying out the new beta version of Live Writer, (Microsoft’s desktop blogging application) at the moment and thought I’d use it to add a map. You can see how I added these maps below.

Looks pretty cool!

I still to this day use Google maps to look around Sydney, where I used to work and live. Such good memories!
