Street View update

As it turns out, panoramas taken last October were just a test. Starting from June 19th, Regio is taking Street View images in Tallinn and other parts of Estonia.

There are several photos of Google cars on Delfi ( link) and Postimees ( link):

5th Generation camera


In other news, Regio opened a non Street View panorama website 360.tallinn.ee.

Panoramas were created by panographer and web developer Andrei Bodrov (his 360cities account).

Bing: Bird's-eye view of Tallinn

Bing maps added Bird's-eye view for Tallinn. Bird's-eye view is a name used by Bing for oblique imagery (aerial photography that is captured at approximately a 45 degree angle with the ground). It is interesting to note that Tallinn is not mentioned in Bing Maps Updates.
