Microsoft to offer aerial views on its maps / Realistic images of skyscrapers highlight search service competing with Google Earth: "A new online mapping tool from Microsoft allows users to view aerial images of San Francisco, including its marquee skyscrapers photographed at 45-degree angles.
The bird's-eye view, to premier today, is part of Windows Live Local (at local.live.com), a hub for driving directions, business listings and interactive maps.
The photographs were taken from a low-flying plane, using global-positioning technology. Users can zoom in on the images and see the various sides of such locations as the Transamerica Pyramid and SBC Park."
