All'indirizzo http://maps.live.com/Help/en-US/ è possibile trovare Virtual Earth 3D (Beta). Si tratta di un software che una volta scaricato ed installato permette di visualizzare le mappe in 3D al momento purtroppo sono disponibili solo le maggiori città statunitensi.


Virtual Earth 3D (Beta) shows 3D buildings and landmarks in many popular cities and areas. View 3D perspectives of land and cities using the mouse, keyboard, or an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.
When you view a location in 3D, Virtual Earth 3D first downloads a low resolution image of the area. If available, Virtual Earth 3D will update the map with successive higher resolution images while you view the map. Therefore, the map view may appear fuzzy until Virtual Earth 3D downloads the higher resolution images.
With the navigation control, you can view cities and streets from different heights and angles. Latitude, longitude, and altitude appear in the lower-left status bar of the browser window. A scale bar in the lower-right corner of the map provides a measure of distance at ground level. The length of the scale bar represents the specified distance at ground level that's closest to you.
