By now, most people have heard about how we 2-upped Google (Bird's Eye imagery being the 1-up) with the 3D imagery in our maps feature, and it was nice to see PC Magazine give us an Editor's Choice award.
For me, what this feature means is an easy way to "visit" the old home town. Most of the imagery is automatically created all the different data sources we have at our disposal, but in some cases, we hand-craft the results, and the results for the State House in Boston are great. Check out the flags.
The cool bird's-eye views were enough of a draw in the previous version, but the 3D is downright addictive. This probably would be enough to please most people even without the local search, maps, and wealth of extra features.
