Can you please give me 1 reason why I would use this over Google Earth? Your images are older then dirt... http://virtualearth.msn.com/?sp=adr.12421%20Sawtooth%20Ave%2C%20Bakersfield%2C%20CA%2093312

That is my old house... It had just been built in that picture and I lived there ohh... 11 years ago. What a joke, look at that same address now (in GEarth), there are thousands of homes around it now. MSN this is a joke, you guys are coming too late into these markets.

I've heard that VE will not update their images of Canada? Is this true? I hope not, the satellites don't turn around at the border!

The images in some areas might be older than dirt on MSN, but at least they are high-res images unlike the low-res blur at Google (for many of us who don't live in large cities.)

I mean, my town only has 200,000 people in the area, but half of it is a big blur in Google.

This of course being the direct competition with Google Maps. This will learn me to check my email at 2am! Found the reversed scrolling zoom frustrating as a Google Earth user. Like the automatic overlay of features over the photography views, handled slightly better than Google. Only looked at a couple of places, it's a pity they both only had black and white images at the higher resolutions (but at least they were there).

Going back to bed now!
