Bing Maps (Unofficial)

----------------------

Bing Maps on Ubuntu Touch. This web app provides convenient access to

Microsoft's browser based mapping and routing service Bing.

- www.bing.com/maps

- www.bing.com/directions

Bing is special for its "bird's eye view" map style. This is a 3D (three

dimensional) view created with the help of pictures taken from planes

capturing stripes of a geographical area, and computed together with

algorithms researched and developed at Graz University of Technology, Austria.

Those algorithms were commercially developed in the United States by Vexcel

Corporation, Boulder (CO), an entity founded by Austrian university professor

Franz Leberl, which has been acquired by Microsoft in 2006.

The normal street maps as well as the routing service are provided by HERE,

formerly known as Ovi Maps and Nokia Maps. You may want to try the HERE app

on your Ubuntu Touch device for a more feature-rich implementation, and a

slightly better working (GPS) locate function.

This web app is not affiliated with Microsoft. The Bing name, Bing Maps,

associated trade marks and logos including the Bing logo are trade marks of

Microsoft or related entities.
