Bing Maps 3D - what is it?

• With Bing Maps 3D you can explore the world from a bird's eye view. The special feature of the add-on for Internet Explorer is that you can flip the map view and thus get a 3D view of the buildings.
• In Windows 10, start the 3D view by clicking on "Maps" under "Start" and selecting the 3D symbol in the top right.
• This view is not fixed, but can be rotated and zoomed continuously.
• So far, mainly American cities like New York or Las Vegas are represented, but also some major German cities are already included. For example, you can already explore the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin or Neuschwanstein Castle.
• A prerequisite for the 3D tour is a fast internet connection and a more powerful graphics card, since otherwise there may be more jerks when viewing.
