[QUOTE="mnorian, post: 68637913, member: 326533"] Been using Windows 10 for a while now and keep finding new things I like, but haven't made a list or kept track of them, but here is one; maps: Found an app (program for us old schoolers) in the app menu; that has what I thought was a new map app (going to get used to saying app pretty soon, at least it's shorter then program) but it's the old Bing map re-done and put in the start page; I keep forgetting that all this new stuff is made for the mobile users. If you don't care for Google street view; you may like Bing's, streetside. I like the way you can manipulate it, and the maps, easier and streetside is quicker then Google and easier to control. The 3d effect can be a little disorienting, but it can give you more of a feel for an area before you visit it; and you can look around in 3d, at the surrounding landscape, hills and mountains. It really opens up the view. Bing doesn't have a compass on the streetside like Google does; but a map of the area is right below, and you click on that and a small map pops up, always north to the top, and the view of the camera is shown on the map in a pie shape. Bing's maps have come up in usefulness a lot since i've looked at them a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
