Whether you're planning a move, a visit, or just want to see what D.C has to offer, check out the latest release of Live Image Search. We worked with Virtual Earth to integrate maps and aerial imagery into the results for image queries related to major cities, as well as major landmarks worldwide. So now if you search for "Washington DC" and click Show Map, you get relevant images from our index of millions of websites overlaid on a map of the nation's capital.
If you click on any of the images in the map, for instance click on the Lincoln Memorial, not only will you get a "Bird's eye" aerial view of this famous landmark, you'll also get external and internal photos of the monument from sites across the Web.
We've also added a metadata view to Image Search, which lets you get image details such as file name, file size, dimension, and host website in your search results.
It's been a long campaign, so if D.C is the last place you want to see, here are some other image searches to try:
Enjoy!

I found a small bug. If you are seeing the map and then filter the images, the page refreshes and the map is gone. Shouldn't the map stay visible and perform the image filter at the same time?
It would be really cool if you could add a new option right next to the "View Map" and display the photosynth for the special landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty.

This way people will be more aware of photosynth and you will provide another cool feature.
That's what I was thinking too. You want to see the pictures directly when you are browsing the map.
