Maps: Views from above.

Google Maps has satellite views but Microsoft Maps has bird's eye views. Excellent tool for giving directions to your library. You can drag the picture with the mouse and fly-over a city. Look up your house. If there is a bird's eye view you can even spin the picture and see your house from different angles.

Some examples:

Seattle Public Library

Powell's in Portland, Oregon

Strand bookstore in New York
