Bird's Eye View on Windows Mobile

Bird's Eye View on Windows Mobile


Finally Microsoft have made Birds Eye View available on a Mobile Platform - Windows Mobile 6.


Available in the Menu and Bird's Eye Mode option
*Bird's Eye View is not available everywhere - though most large cities in the USA/Canada/Europe/Australia regions will have Birds Eye oblique aerial photographs.

Hopefully soon this will be made available to all other platforms.
