Well mentioned. Nokia has been far ahead of the curve for turn by turn navigation and Bing's aerial view has almost always surpassed Google.

It will be interesting to see if Microsoft's amazing augmented reality research will end up in a mapping product some day soon as well.

Google also has aerial view/45 degree imagery for many metro areas. Just keep zooming in the Satellite view. For my neighborhood at least, the Google imagery surpasses Bing's.
