I am impressed by the bing map iso-metric view (bird's view?). Really amazing and way better than the flat top-view in GoogleMaps. Especially for searching houses and real estates!

I don´t know the bing terms-of-use and API... but i hope, it can be integrated like google maps?!

Any chance to have this as an alternative map display in geo-field?

EDIT - Okt 2013:

Still interested in BING MAPS support. GoogleMap has also 45-degree locations, but there seems to be no hint which areas are available. At least I could only find an older listing from 2010. The current Gmap GUI does not help. BING seems to have way more locations... i.e. Hamburg/germany is not available in Gmap, but BING birds view rocks!

Btw, the "bird's eye view" from our place is MUCH MUCH better in google maps ... Bing looks lousy here ...
