Bing Maps makes napkin-sketch style maps as well, if you have Silverlight installed. Say what you like about Bing in general, but Bing Maps is pretty cool.

- markbao 16y agoAnother cool thing I like about Bing Maps: "Whole Foods on the corner" and "If you reach E 13th St, you've gone too far" when viewing directions. Such things would be cheered on as "look how awesome Google is!" if implemented in GMaps. http://preview.tinyurl.com/3robnkg http://preview.tinyurl.com/3robnkg (tinyurl because URL is huge)

- alextp 16y agoAlso, the bird's eye view in bing maps always makes me go back to it, it's great to see what a neighborhood look like and how it would feel to actually follow a route. Google street view is just too zoomed in and too painful to navigate in to get a broad idea most of the time.
- hexiumvii 16y agoThey actually have bird eye view on google maps now! I switched back :p
