Microsoft Tidbits: New Aerial Imagery and Live Traffic

+ MS Virtual Earth has added a bunch (like 9 terabytes) of new imagery (including birds eye imagery) for locations around the globe. See this post for a list of what’s new.

+ Microsoft’s Voice Search Site (1-800-CALL-411) has added audio traffic reports to their voice search service. Simply say a location (U.S. major cities) and you’ll get up to the minute traffic info. It’s powered by Inrix. 1-800-MY-TRAFC also offers voice-activated audio traffic reports powered by Traffic.com.

For more interactive voice search tools see this post.
