Windows Live Local has updated with Toronto Hi Res aerials finally. Very awesome :D You can zoom in closer than Google. Looks sick. Can't wait for them to get Bird's Eye for Toronto.

Not work with my computer :(

which computer?

iMac

iMac
I'm Mac-tarded. It's also limited in Firefox I believe. You can't get all of the functions to work or something. Works best in IE.

Windows Live Local keeps getting better and better! In addition to Hamilton and Toronto, they have added Ottawa and Calgary to the list of cities covered by New Ultracam Hi resolution Ortho Imagery.

Oh trust me. When I saw that they updated Toronto I was really happy :P I've been waiting for this since Live Local started.

I finally finished this.

So they finally got 3D buildings in it!!! :D:D:D

EDIT: Holy they got it far...
EDIT2: I recommend increasing the cache in it from 1GB to about 50GB, so you are not waiting forever for buildings to load.

Very cool, those 3D images are gorgeous! I wonder if the homework Microsoft did with Flight Simulator helped here.
