14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just announced that Bing Maps Preview, a Windows 8.1 application that was officially launched in December, has received a major update that comprises 3D imagery of 15 new cities.
Creating high-quality content for the app wasn’t easy, Microsoft says, so the company had to turn to next-gen technology, such as aerial cameras.
“With the help of world builders from the video game industry, expert photogrammetrists, high definition aerial cameras and a massive data pipeline crunching petabytes of imagery, we are delivering a more natural way to experience our planet. Touch it, tilt it, tap it or turn it to immerse yourself and experience maps in new ways,” the company said.
Here are the all-new 3D cities that are included in this version of the app:
Germany
Duisburg Dresden
Spain
Marbella Murcia
United States
Montgomery, AL Bakersfield, CA Sacramento, CA San Francisco, CA Gainesville, FL Tallahassee, FL Columbus, GA Baton Rouge, LA Shreveport, LA Gulport, MS Seattle, WA
