“Street side” Imagery Tech Preview from Microsoft Goes Live Today

Marc Hackman at PC Magazine does a nice job summarizing a note sent to editors last night about a tech preview of Microsoft’s latest mapping data offering. It’s part of Live Local and offers “street side” views of core parts of just two cities: San Fran and Seattle.

Facet Technology Corp., which I think I heard about in relation to homeland security at one point, captures the data with slow driving vans. It has many cities in the can already, but for now Microsoft is looking for feedback from users.

The preview site goes live at 12 pm PST (3 pm EST) today.
