Bing 3D maps

A really short and pretty awful look at Bing 3D maps. This feature will probably sadly be depreciated soon in favour of the new Silverlight viewer which does not do 3D.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

The Silverlight version does 3D bro, and it is a lot better than this.

@mackenziepricee The new Bing maps in Silverlight does have a 3D button but it still uses the old plugin with is D3D and not Silverlight. And it's exactly the same as this actually bro. Same plugin.

They used to have the same thing on Photosynth but the (inferior in my opinion) Silverlight viewer was introduced and the D3D viewer was abandoned.

Don't get me wrong, Silverlight is far better than Flash and I love it but there are some places where a separate D3D plugin is much better.

i wanna make a gta style game using google earth. it will be low res though due to space required and the time it would take to model most of the world
