Well, hopefully those open up to nice looking aerial views of those spots. When I closed my browser and then clicked on those links, they didn't work. Stupid Microsoft.

Sorry, they open as blank Live Local Search pages for me.

Worked for me

Worked for me

I replaced the links to MSN with actual screen grabs from my PC.

I don't understand how you got these images Ben. I went to http://intl.local.live.com/ - is that what you did? All I see is one field for "what" and another for "where". I didn't have much luck finding anything interesting by typing things into those.

I can see why it's still beta...

Boyd,

Go here.

Then do a search for Atsion NJ. Then click on Birds Eye at the top left corner of the map.

It does not always go to the correct website for some reason. I had to switch to Firefox and then it did.

When I get a minute I will post screenshots.

Thats the key Boyd. Use Firefox.

Oh well, I don't have Firefox on this machine and don't really want to install right now; I'll check back after Microsoft gets this out of beta. Safari just takes me here....

 

[whitingrider]

I guess my firefox settings are screwed up. I could rarely view any pictures in postings.

Same here with Safari. Anyway, the images are only in selected areas, and the page loads slow and at times stops. They have a way to go to get it working properly. More trouble than it is worth.

It will improve.

Microsoft is obsessed with out-googling Google.... but I'll believe it when I see it.

I wonder what pine barren explorers 100 years from now will think about this.
