Bing Maps: New Spatial Streetside Photos w/ Flickr

from YouTube:

This new Bing maps feature takes tagged photos from Flickr, and relates them to our Streetside imagery to show images matched to their original context.

See if you’re really going to get a good sunset at that B&B youre looking to book, or check out the crowds on a Saturday morning at Pike Place Market in Seattle.

Look at the video below. Pretty cool.

Some comments:

Amazing work on the augmented reality and merging the geo-tagged photos. Would love to see how this works outside of cities, where the spatial information may not be as accurate.

Overall…good job in a world where we only expect innovation from Google 🙂
