Microsoft Launches Virtual Earth 3D

Looks like M$ is back at it. Big news here is that it has offered 3D maps from right in the browser. There is no download.

Microsoft on Monday took the wraps off Virtual Earth 3D, a new version of the company’s mapping application that enables users to “fly” through three-dimensional models of cities from directly within their Web browser – complete with virtual billboards.

The idea is that users can type a query into Windows Live Search and click on the “maps” tab to bring up results in a local context, with the ability to view two-dimensional aerial and bird’s-eye imagery, or the new 3D models offered by Virtual Earth.
