Bing Map vs. Google Map

June 17, 2009 at 1:20 am 2 comments

Some people have been presenting Bing (a search engine recently launched by Microsoft) as a Google-killer application…and some have argued that this is not even close to reality.

Well, I just tested the Map application and compared it with Google map. Bellow are the results for the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver….

So which one would you prefer if you wanted to visualize the place before going there for the first time for example ? …. 🙂

(sorry for the annoying “unregistered version” in the pictures…from Galdwin print screens tool….it seems I have not bought their product yet ;))

    Interesting, the Bing picture is definitely a lot more realistic!
