Google Has Some Competition and so does Microsoft

Looks like Microsoft will compete with Google to control the Earth - at least the maps and imagery of the Earth. So far, the cities available include San Jose, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Seattle. Although both systems maps seem a bit outdated, I've used Google Earth, and it helps me in my inspection business to identify landmarks when I'm plotting my route. It's a handy tool and Microsoft is going to have to do some overtime to play catch-up.
