Bing Revs Up Map App For Windows 8.1

Bing said today that it has launched a new preview of its Bing Maps feature, available for Windows 8.1, which adds some significant enhancements to how the company is offering up navigation and mapping data. The new Bing Maps Preview--available at the Windows Store--adds some significant 3D features, including interspersing road data in 3D views (including showing roads behind building and other objects), 3D searches for restaurants and venues, and much more. Bing said it currently is only supporting around 70 cities around the world, as a preview of future enhancements to the service.
