Last month Microsoft added 165TB of satellite imagery to Bing Maps and today the firm informs on its Bing Blog that another 215TB of new data has been added to the Bird Eye feature.
The latest publication of Bird's Eye includes 215 TB of new data that spans across the United States and features certain areas in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Tokyo. The total coverage of this publication is 230,004 square kilometers and consists of over 1.1 million files!

This oblique perspective of the world is a special feature of Bing Maps, and we are proud to announce Bird's Eye has a total of 1,388,593 square kilometers of imagery. That's a total of 302 TB of data!
