The response to Google’s Maps from Microsoft: MSN Virtual Earth
Javascript powered, looks nice but the zoom feature only goes till 50% on Portugal. More zoom is available on EUA, but not full zoom. They are still working on it as this is a Beta version.
It worked nicely with Firefox but seems more slick with Internet Explorer. Unlike Google, here you have the name of the country/city/street you’re seeing.
A nice feature is the “Locate Me” based on your IP. In my case it emidiatly took me from the US to Portugal.
Enough said. Stop reading this an explorer yourself!
