We broke up the August release (in case you were wondering why there was only oblique {bird’s eye}. Yep, more imagery – we know you love it – and, it’s all available through Microsoft Maps.

To see an image like this on your own PC, take the following steps:

1. If it isn't there already, install and open the Windows Maps Application
2. Set the map type to "Aerial" in the top menu
3. Search for where you would like to see, in this case "Mt Everest" and select it from the list
4. Use the menu bar to the right to choose a viewing direction and change the angle of view or "tilt" the map to show how 3D it really is!
