Mapquest has a new streetview service
The largest map site in the US is called Mapquest. Today they finally got a streetview service. It’s called 360 View. Google StreetView have higher image quality and I think it will be tough for Mapquest to compete with Google.

Take a peek on Eniro streetview Denmark
Eniro Sweden have published their own streetview-images, including some cities from Denmark. Eniro.dk has not yet realesed those pictures on their own site.
Update: Eniro has since removed this backdoor, but they will surely release it in Denmark soon. If you click on the link below you will instead get to the town of Malmö. That is the closest swedish city to Denmarks capital Copenhagen.

Bing streetview coming soon
A car taking photos for Microsofts Bing Maps images, similar to Google StreetView, has been spotted in Vancouver, Canada today. When Bing will release images is not clear yet, but we hope it’s soon. Since they are now getting images from Vancouver, my guess is that it will be ahead of the winter Olympics in this city. I believe it will have a different name than “streetview” though.
(You can preview a very early version of it here. It was released several years ago, so the final version will surely look much better.)
