Microsoft launches new 'Bing Maps World Tour' application
Today Microsoft will announce the latest imagery updates to its Bing Maps platform, which for the first time, can all be viewed using the brand new ‘Bing Maps World Tour’ application.
Just about every month, Microsoft adds tens of terabytes of new content to Bing Maps, bringing new locations to life and reinvigorating pre-existing areas with fresh, high resolution imagery.
Now, thanks to Silverlight and Windows Azure technology, visitors can sit back and relax while the World Tour application provides a guided tour of everything that’s new. Alternatively, users can explore for themselves at their own pace, stopping off at any locations they please.
