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 I was trying to explore southern Chile's mountain range and it was always a pain and seemed out of date in many places.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.

add birds eye in Egypt cool maps but auora

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.

Screw Google Maps, this is way better with its stunning images
22 May 2015
Following needs attention:
- Slow startup
12 May 2015
I can spend hours navigation around using this app.
2 May 2015
It's pretty useful but needs fast connection

It looks like playing a game. And i couldn't stop singing Spider Man's theme song while ''flying'' through New York.

It's a crime that it doesn't have a scale legend. Argh.
17 April 2015
I hope that will be Available for All Around World with this quality!
Good Job Microsoft...

Love this! Tired of the Google only option. I wish I could download all the data so I could use off line and play. :)

This app is a major step up in functionality compared to maps.bing.com! The streetside view is cool, but 3D-view is awesome! Definitely digging the view over NYC.
The reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 star review is simple. Electronic maps have come a long way, but never take into account the entrance to where parking is. In a busy city with one way streets, this information becomes ever more valuable when you're an 'out-of-stater'.
At least for landmarks with parking [shout out to the American Museum of Natural History which was the reason for my search and this review] add a 'visitor parking' button maybe? to show the entrance to visitor parking. With that change I'll be happy to change my 4 to a 5.

Great! Can't wait for the final version.
16 March 2015
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have uninstalled and rebooted and reinstalled. No matter what I do it doesn't work. Not worth it. Please do not install this app
9 March 2015
I am loving this app. The level of detail is very good and the manipulation on my tablet is flawless!
1 March 2015
this app is amazing, but it uses so much battery and makes my surface Pro 3 so hot i can only use it for about 5 minutes.

I cant weight till the who'll map is if 3d
20 February 2015
Kind of like Google Earth, but easier to navigate and faster. It would be nice if Bing could add user KML/KMZ import export, but just a suggestion.
12 February 2015
The App Crushes right on Start up on my Surface Pro 2! Can't even open it! Please Fix this!

Aside from how functionally useful this app for things like finding directions and routes, the way it is presented is very well done. Having an angled view of the Earth is very cool. Nice job.
9 February 2015
And it's amazing. Having a built in, native app for maps is noticeably better than using something online (like google maps). I know this is just a preview, but it works wonderfully and quickly. It also has a very comprehensive street view with it. Highly recommend.

This app is really nice. You should give a try.

IT IS TERRIABLE IT SUCKS THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY
29 January 2015
It's smoother than Google Earth, and 3D rendering is beautiful!

En varias regiones (especialmente Latinoamérica; cito, Honduras) los mapas están totalmente mal, e incluso desalineados con la imagen de satélite. Hay calles que no existen, y los bordes se ven terribles. Le doy 2 estrellas porque la vista en 3D de ciudades famosas funciona relativamente bien, pero esta aplicación no es para explorar lo bellas que son dichas ciudades, si no mas bien para obtener direcciones y referencias de navegación; lo cual, al menos en mi experiencia, hace muy mal.

Zoom is very poor. Not made for country side. Cities are probably OK.
13 January 2015
Pleaseeeeeee come to Windows Phone! Please!!!!
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11 January 2015
I'm not a person that likes to give 5 stars out for anything because I always think there's room for improvement. There's probably some things that need to be improved in this app, but this app just WOW'ed me.
I usually go to Google Maps, but this makes that look like a joke. Not even Google Earth has this great of detail.
I look forward to when this ceases to be a "Preview."
