Birds-Eye View in Bing Maps

Hate giving credit to Microsoft, but they deserve it here. They seem to have been working to improve their maps (formerly Live.com maps). Last I checked they weren't working so well, and the bird's-eye coverage was spotty.

I tried a handful of small cities (as well as NYC) and they were all covered now. E.g.

• New York City
• Scranton, PA
• Trenton, NJ
• Wilmington, DE

Zoom in and out, and drag the map around. This one-ups Google's street view and Google Earth in my opinion, and is the best way yet to understand the lay of the land.
