Microsoft's "Bird's Eye View" Maps
I've wasted many hours playing around with Google Earth. Zooming in and finding places I've lived, visited and would like to go to is always time consuming!
To get to the point: I've only just discovered mapping on Microsoft's Live.com. It has something Google Earth/Maps doesn't (YET) - "Bird's Eye View" and something I'd always wished Google Earth had.
It doesn't work for all areas, Blackpool is in there but big UK cities seem to be missing, I guess they're more work. It all looks very promising and I'm sure Google are will soon be doing this themselves - check out New York City.

ITS GONE!!! I thought that was the greatest thing ever and its gone! They replaced it with some gigantic piece of crap called Microsoft Map Point!
