I love the look of it and it works very nicely. I just can't get used to "Bing Maps"...

Fantastic! I wonder if this will eventually be a new Silverlight enhanced experience for Bing...

Bing Maps Imagery Release – May 2009 (Introducing Bing Maps World Tour)

Posted Jun 05 2009, 11:19 AM by Sunshine with 3 comment(s)

This month’s release contains 248,000+ sq. kilometers of new imagery. But not just that. You won’t get a ginormous list of locations but an experience, an experience in the form of the Bing Maps World Tour.
BingMapsWorldTour BingMapsWorldTourPins
The Bing Maps World Tour is hosted on Windows Azure and is built with the Bing Maps Silverlight Control (currently in CTP) to take advantage of the robust rendering capabilities within. Each month this tour will feature the latest imagery additions/updates to Bing Maps. You can sit back and watch the Slideshow, or explore it for yourself by navigating the pins.

A detailed description of the application’s features, and the list by country with sq. kilometers, can be found on the Bing Maps Blog.

Enjoy!

Fantastic!  I wonder if this will eventually be a new Silverlight enhanced experience for Bing that can be accessed from Bing main site or at least Bing Maps.  It would make sense.  I recently wrote the Bing Maps team suggesting they do something like this...with option of going full screen.  I think its still a work in progress but the potential entertainment value is huge.

I don't like the user interface of this, but I would think it'd be neat if Bing Maps was on Silverlight and we could have deep zoom features that speedy.
