I even still have the link in my past buffer this morning:

It is the un-annotated version that gogglor posted though, so.

Wow I could have believed that was an actual picture.

FWIW This is the Google Maps 3D image.

Some of the limitations are due to my poor suffering Intel integrated graphics...plus slow loading so many textures in real time (and image compression).

Ignoring all that, the trees and foliage seem to look better in the Microsoft image, which makes sense I think they've focused on that a lot.

But the building geometry is far better in Google.

Still, very cool that we can get these kinds of models now.  I'd love to be able to drop my Zwift bike into the virtual actual world.
