thumb I'm a huge fan of virtual map applications.  Each step in their evolution has been a mind blowing experience for me. Real satellite images were just the beginning.  Once I discovered I could tweak Google Earth to jack up the elevation I just had to tour the Grand Canyon and sit on the edge of a volcano in Costa Rica.  Then Google Earth turned itself on its head and showed us the skies in a similar fashion.  Zooming in on a galaxy millions of light years away is actually way cooler than seeing the top of my house all grainy and pixelated.  Right when I started to be bored, along comes street view and I can now view my house as if I'm standing right in front of it.  Kind of creepy but also quite amazing and useful for the last leg of a trip.  Microsoft has now uped the ante.  Using Silverlight, Microsoft's new bing map application runs in the browser (PC and Mac) and feels much lighter than current ajax based mapping applications.  This is due in part to the deep zoom and photosynth technology they have developed.  Instead of just having an aerial view or street view of the map, a perspective based presentation is achieved by combining multiple views of every location.  Whether ...
