Golden Ears Bridge is still the best kept secret then? lol. Heavy traffic is when there are more than 20 cars on the bridge at one time. Haha.

Appallingly, bing still does not have high resolution imagery for Richmond. (Where Microsoft's office is located!) I hope they address this soon.

Bing's "Bird's Eye" view is really cool. More useful than 3D view IMO.



P.S. first post, long time lurker!

They must get their data stream from the same source as the "Where" app for the Palm Pre.

It should be awesome once Google finally gets their traffic features working here in Vancouver, as it uses crowdsourced data to calculate variances from standard travel speeds.
