Bing Maps Preview

Introducing the Bing Maps Preview app, exclusively on Windows 8.1. Featuring stunning 3D world and city views, the Bing Maps Preview app puts you at the center of a smart, local experience that helps you get things done. The app is optimized for touch with easy-to-use controls. Need to get there on time? Personalized traffic alerts keep an eye on the traffic for your favorite routes and alert you when there are delays via live tiles and Windows notifications. Looking for something local that you’ll love? Get user reviews and business hours, see photos, reserve a table and more. You can even view where you’re going before you get there with Streetside. The Bing Maps Preview app installs as a separate app and will not replace the Maps app on your device.

This is the best touch enabled app I have ever used. I was trying to explore southern Chile's mountain range and it was always a pain and seemed out of date in many places. I really love how this works. Spinning, changing elevations, views from every which way and so easy to use. Whoever did this deserves a raise or at least a case of beer. Way to go Microsoft. Keep up more stuff like this and VS2015 and show people how it's done. Love, love, love.

I just did a thorough fly-thru of downtown San Diego and the San Diego Zoo, and the 3D effect of the buildings (and trees!) is very impressive. I'd love to see this app come out of preview and replace the existing map app.

This app is comparable to Google Earth, but has only ever been in preview. This app is even better than the much ugly new Windows 10 maps app. Please take it out of preview. Fantastic app.

I need this on my windows phone too that would be so awesome maps is one thing Microsoft needs to work on my address is wrong in this app & even cortana tells me my address is something else I've reported it & gave them the right address but they are too worried about getting androids & ios apps over anything else that's the last thing I want on my Windows devices they need to fix things like this & so much more before that crap I've also been directed elsewhere from my destinations from my phone oops lets see how long it takes em to fix it and release mobile version then I will rate 5 *s it will deserve it then oh yeah & they need to turn the old maps app into this not make separate apps for everything.
