Bing Streetside taking photos in London today
Four Bing Streetside cars are today starting to take photos from the streets of London. Microsoft Bing Maps recently announced they will take photos in Germany too. Bing Streetside is currently only available in the US, but will be coming to Europe this summer.

Microsoft Streetside coming to Germany this summer
Street View will get competition in Germany. Microsoft have announced that it’s service Streetside will be available some time this summer in Germany. Bing Maps Streetside is currently only available in the US.
