<p>Mac users running Firefox as their browser have been able to use <a href="http://maps.live.com/" target="_blank">Live Maps</a> for a long while. I'm happy to report that those who prefer Safari on the Mac can now experience the web's highest resolution aerial imagery and other Live Maps goodness as well! Here is a brief mention in the <a href="http://www.macfreak.org/readnews.php?newsitem=6230" target="_blank">Dutch language MacFreak</a>; hope they said something nice. Hey - who wants to lend a hand and update the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSN_Virtual_Earth#Compatibility" target="_blank">Live maps Wikipedia entry</a> regarding Safari compatibility.

Note that this is an untested configuration and there are bound to be bugs, but if you have an iPhone give it a try. <div style="padding-right:0px;display:inline;padding-left:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin:0px;padding-top:0px">Technorati tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Live Maps" rel=tag>Live Maps</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Safari" rel=tag>Safari</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/iPhone" rel=tag>iPhone</a></div><img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3151506992847969176&page=RSS%3a+Safari+and+iPhone+get+the+Birds+Eye+Tr eatment&referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""><img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&NA=1149&PI=73329&RF=&DI=3919&PS=85545&TP=virtualearth.spaces.live.com>1=virtualearth">
