Australia and Greece Birds Eye Imagery is Live!

<p>This months Virtual Earth Imagery update brings Birds Eye imagery to two new Countries - Australia and Greece. Actually, Greece had a bit of coverage already but since it is so greatly expanded this month it is worth calling out here. Chris has a great run down on all of the <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/virtualearth/archive/2008/05/01/virtual-earth-imagery-release-april-2008.aspx" target="_blank">geographies that received new imagery this month</a>. <p>Turning on Collections Explore is a great way to interactively learn about an area and discover landmarks and other high profile Points of Interest in an area. you can turn on Explore at any time by using the 'Collections --> Explore' menu item to turn on a layer of points of interest created entirely by individuals across the web. Once Explore is on, take advantage of the sort and filter options to tailor your results. You can choose to see only items with a photo attached for instance. <p><a href="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pTcqBXnZTBA8P6cyNT7zWO7aNTbS-Uv1FvBYHdMJFqpG54UE6yXkN4bu8hsGzt_YI6mFFG3mVu8U?PA RTNER=WRITER"><img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" border=0 alt=image src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pTcqBXnZTBA81shEdpMHiR1kYhjV6THqhYSrzlR6OWGMIIiP F6r_tzMINFaawRgiI6ZZMXtNHseg?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 height=56></a>* <p>Some Examples <ul> <li><a href="http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCC&cp=39.360031~22.944349&style=r&lvl=12&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=16004365&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&explore=sst.0&encType=1" target="_blank">All items in Volos, Greece</a> <li><a href="http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCC&cp=-42.88326~147.334213&style=r&lvl=15&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=29534460&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&explore=sst.0~tag.Wikipedia&sp=Point.9br8f9xm3bgg_Untitled item____&encType=1" target="_blank">Entries in Hobart, Tazmania Tagged 'wikipedia'</a> <li><a href="http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCC&cp=-33.87013~151.206551&style=r&lvl=12&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=28201518&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&explore=sst.0~tag.__photo__&sp=Point.9br8f9xm3bgg_Untitled item____&encType=1" target="_blank">Photos around Sydney</a></ul> <div style="padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin:0px;padding-top:0px;display:inline">Technorati tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Birds Eye" rel=tag>Birds Eye</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Live maps" rel=tag>Live maps</a></div><img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3151506992847969176&page=RSS%3a+Australia+and+Greece+Birds+Eye+Imagery +is+Live!&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&GT1=virtualearth">
