Maps in Bing Maps updated

I’m still not a big fan of Bing, Microsoft search engine-cum-revenue generator with cash for clicks enhancements. (It’s been subverted: See the “Breaking Bing Cashback” article and the original post in Google’s archives.)

Anyway, Bing has updated its maps, and I’m still underwhelmed. Just like everybody else, the first place I looked with the new, improved Bing maps is my house and home town – Patong, Phuket, Thailand. The results are dismal. Google Earth isn’t perfect, but it’s still head and shoulders above Bing.
