Bing Maps

I have been using this tool for a while and it is absolutely amazing.  When I've recently asked a few people (even one of my techie friends) if they knew about it, they said no.  Bing Maps is a lot like the more popular Google Maps, with one exception--Bird's Eye view.

I use this tool all the time to look at real estate especially.  It's a great way to see what the whole neighborhood is like.  Go to Bing Maps, enter an address, switch to bird's eye view and then zoom in. The view defaults to "Road".  That's where you'll change it.  Once you're there, you can rotate it and see a view from each cardinal direction.  It doesn't have bird's eye for everywhere, i.e. Wabash, IN. But if you live in a metropolitan area, you're probably covered.  Next time you want to see where something's at in detail, give it a try.
