Hi Andrew,

I think an increased use of newer web enable phones is going to point towards more people relying upon mapping services like Google Maps. Hopefully those services will be up to the task.

Just got my HTC Google phone a week or so ago, so useful with Google maps for getting around.

Thanks again, Matt.

I did like your presentation of how to use Streetview and Bird’s eye view together.

I agree completely about the usefulness of that bird’s eye view – it captures a 3D representation of an area that streetviews just can’t.

No problem! I actually stumbled across it not too long and created the video walk-through of the feature that is linked above. However, it would be great if this feature was as ubiquitous as Google Maps since it comes in handy for a variety of situations, but it unfortunately isn’t.

Hi Matt,

Nice. Thank you, and thanks for pointing out Bing’s bird’s eye view. I’m going to have to spend more time with it.

I just wanted to add that while Google Maps is great for 99% of mapping needs, there is actually a very cool feature in Bing maps called bird’s eye view that allows you to see an angled, aerial shot of the building and it allows you to rotate 360 degrees around it.

Thanks for the great article!
