Microsoft has added three-dimensional service Live Search Maps

Microsoft has added three-dimensional models of cities to its Live Search Maps map service. Of course, such a decent time is already present in Google Earth, but in this case, three-dimensional images are displayed in the browser, and the picture quality differs for the better from Google service. All textures of virtual models are based on photographs of real prototypes. In addition to supporting Internet Explorer, which is natural, the service works great in Mozilla Firefox.



Like in Google Earth, Live Search Maps has three-dimensional models of only major cities and attractions, but Microsoft promises to expand the number of models.



Actually, this is exactly what the updated service looks like:









It is a pity that all this beauty necessarily requires a video card that supports DirectX 9.
