Live online maps are getting more and more popular among internet users and attract a lot of new visitors every day. Internet maps make it very easy and convenient for anyone to just find a place on a map, get driving directions or enjoy live satellite imagery and aerial photo views.
The most popular live mapping websites are Google Maps, Bing Maps (initially Live Maps or Live Search Maps) and MapQuest. Basically all these online atlases and location finding services are very similar and have comparable features, but if you are a real fan of online world maps and atlases, every of these mapping services may offer you something special. This means that in some cases you may build you own preference by using the interface and features of an online mapping tool over another.
One of the best examples of comparing online atlas tools is the 'aerial view' or 'satellite view' features that use 3D streaming technology. These features let the user enjoy exploring places and topographic objects from a satellite or aerial view in 3D perspective. One of the best example of 3D mapping tools is a widely known tool from Microsoft - Bird's Eye View Maps.
Another very popular function of online mapping tools is so-called "street maps". This technology was initially featured on Google Maps and Google Earth as Street Views. A bit later Microsoft launched by a similar function - StreetSide View - on their Live Search Maps (now Bing Maps). Both solutions enable panoramic imagery of street-level scenes with views from various positions along many streets and roads in the world.
