When searching for property it is always best to do some homework before requesting a showing from your Realtor. Even though gas prices have come down, it is still very expensive to drive by every single property that might be a match for your needs. I am a very “Google” focused person-meaning google email, google search, chat, google docs, customized iGoogle page, and of course their map program. I recently checked out www.map.live.com and discovered that they have this amazing “bird’s eye” view. One of the best features is the ability to rotate the view around the property of interest. As you will see in the images below I am able to spin 360 degrees around this listing of mine on Seamans Rd in New London .

Here is a listing of mine on http://maps.live.com/ which is a Microsoft Virtual Earth product.

I think that this is just an awesome feature to have on a quick map program and I hope you find it useful as well!
