Microsoft Live Maps - Bird's Eye Views - HibeesBounce.com

Don't know if this has been posted before but if you zoom in on say Edinburgh, in addition to the aerial satellite view, you can pick 'bird's eye view' to give you a natural, angled overhead view. You'll see controls on the left that, as well as zooming in or out, you can alter the position and look from various different angles.

You'll need to zoom in a bit on a location before 'bird's eye view' becomes available. Going by images in Glasgow, these pictures have been taken about a year ago.

Is that the river that runs past Beefys hoose and the Pyramids?

**Hibee_bounce336** · 28-07-08, 14:31

I read quite an intresting article in the daily rangers the other day. Claiming that maps like, google earth, are extremely usefull for thiefs. They can plan thier robbery, the getaway and even where the entraces etc are to the building.

Now I know I will prob get shot down in flames for agreeing with this.

Although I do know that we cany look at every situation like this and just assume these tools are going to benefit twats, instead of good people. Although the state of paranoia the world is currently in with terrorism, knife crime etc, it would not surprise me if somone reasonably powerfull mentions this in the near future.

Any veiws?
