Microsoft has already [announced a new feature][1] for [Microsoft Live Search Maps][2] which features three-dimensional, photo-realistic maps for New York City, San Francisco and other locations in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. - -The new views show building and landscape details in 3-D and while the service is a bit slow in rendering, the results, once loaded, are indeed eye-popping (see screenshots after the jump). - -The new views show aerial views of landmarks and notably locations such as Times Square, Central Park, Wall Street, Rockefeller Plaza and other famous spots. - -To use the new 3-D features You'll need to be running Windows and Internet Explorer. There is a Firefox plug-in as well, but I encountered an error when trying to install it and could never get it to work. - -Microsoft has made some odd choices for the initial launch location including, understandably New York and San Francisco, but also smaller cities like Austin, Texas, Savannah, Georgia, and Northampton, England. - -In addition to the announced cities, a bit of exploring revealed some additional data in places like Boston (though no 3-D model of Fenway Park as I was hoping for). - -While I still prefer Google Earth and find it to be faster and has smoother navigation, the new Microsoft Live Search Maps 3-D data beats the pants off anything Google currently offers. - -[1]: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2007/may07/05-28NYC3DMA.mspx "New York, New York, in 3-D — Seeing Is Believing" -[2]: http://maps.live.com "Microsoft Live Search Maps"
