Bing Maps has integrated smooth panning, zooming and moving navigation on the map views. They have also introduced “Street Side” which will vie with Google Street View. Street Side includes street level photography for 56 US metro areas, which will eventually go global, that will enable users to explore the vicinity of the cities.
