If you noticed a strange SUV driving all over Lawrence and Philadelphia on Tuesday, there's a good explanation. Microsoft is starting an attempt to out do Google Street View imagery. Microsoft has been collecting imagery since 2007. They just haven't posted it yet. Except for a technology preview from 2007: http://preview.local.live.com/ Here is the company doing the work: http://www.facet-tech.com/Mobile_360.htm Join discussion...

Microsoft has released it's own Google Street View. With Microsoft Street View, you can pick your view: Race Car, Sports Car or Walk. There is a split screen view so you can visualize an aerial view at the same time as the street view. Pretty cool - definitely worth a look! Join discussion...
