I can only hope that they expand the photgrammetry coverage soon. The international coverage of Bing in that field is abysmal compared to Google.

I just did some research in my own country of Germany, and it is amazing how many towns already are covered in photgrammetry.

Not only my own hometown, but even such relatively unknown entities like Zwickau, or historically famous places like Bamberg, or Reims in France.

Nothing of that exists with the Bing dataset, which is really, really a shame.

Bing has my house in 3D, Google not! 😅

Google has all the places I ever lived in in 3D. Bing does not. 😉

Which is should be a strong motivation to fly where you have not lived 😉

You know how people are. First they want to see their own neighbourhood depicted to perfection, then the places were they went on vacation. 😉

My second item on the wishlist would therefore be more mountainranges in photogrammetry. I have seen some places I'm familiar with, only small excerpts of the wider area, and it is astonishing. No longer crude mesh that flattens every rockformation out, no every tiny needle is depicted.

Unfortunately Bing Maps doesn’t have unlimited resources, hence why they have to choose wisely where they will cover with photogrammetry. 
 

We can only hope Microsoft has big plans for Bing and photogrammetry become one of the priorities.

Could someone tell me please, how I can enter to a 3D Bing maps to look at some photogrammetry cities? (what browser or application for Windows 7). Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not able to find it :-) Google photogrammetry isn't problem to find, but Bing is impossible for me :-) Thanks.

You can find them in the Windows apps Maps or Earth View. There you‘ll also find a list of 3d cities.

I am French, no need for Google 😏.

Ever? That must be useful...

I didn't make myself clear, I was only referring to the automatic tool to translate between French and English.  I use Google for other languages of course.
