Thread: Panorama service from Microsoft

Over Christmas the company from Redmond has started its mapping service without a major announcement. You can use Streetside already Munich, Augsburg, Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen. Other cities and regions will also follow soon, so you can take a virtual tour cities.


Who the panorama service wants to use Microsoft Silverlight takes on his computer. If the software is installed, the sightseeing tour is nothing in the way. As Severin Löffler, Head of Legal and policy at Microsoft Germany, VDI-Nachrichten announced, the camera pansincluding in Ingolstadt, Regensburg, Würzburg, completed in the Rhine-Main region and in Berlin.






The recorded data will be integrated into the system in the near future. In addition, the Bing map cities and regions are marked in blue, where you can take advantage of Streetside in some parts already.


In contrast to competitor Google, with its map service, Street View, Microsoft appears to have had to contend with less resistance. The opposition form required by data protection, which was also made by Microsoft to use, just 80,000 German households. With Street View , the number was three times higher. Although in Bing Streetside defaced personal content such as faces or car number, but we have still the opportunity for a picture report and a review by the Microsoft employees to mark.
