So this is pretty cool. Did you know Bing Maps can create “treasure maps”?
Summarized from Geek.com:
Microsoft’s Bing search engine has been being smart about competing with Google: they realize they might not necessarily have the smartest search algorithms, but they can present their own results in unique ways that Google isn’t doing.
Bing’s latest addition applies this strategy in a wonderfully cool way. In an attempt to pare down a street map’s inherent convolution, Bing Destination Maps has introduced the ability to sketch your location.
The program’s in beta right now, so it’s a bit slow to load, but once it does, all you do is type in an address and Bing will sketch out an overview of the area you’d like to explore, but without any of the labyrinthine information overload of a city grid.
You can choose from four styles: Sketchy, European, American or Treasure. Treasure, of course, is the coolest one.
