Roundhouse Park from Above! - Part 2 of 2: Binging It!


Click on each image for a closer look!
.
Continuing on our theme of "Roundhouse Park from Above", we now turn to Microsoft's Bing Maps service (formerly Windows Live Maps). To see these images online and others at Bing Maps, click here or enter the address of Roundhouse Park - "255 Bremner Blvd, Toronto, ON" at Bing Maps.
.
In the image at the left above, we see the street map for the Roundhouse Park area with Roundhouse Park being specifically named. At the upper right is the 3D street map version which adds the outline of the Roundhouse itself and allows you to look at the landscape from an angle of your choice.
.
Bing Maps also offers an aerial view as shown at the left below. At the right below, we see another "bird's eye" version of the aerial view which lets you look at Roundhouse park from the angle of your choice.
.
Bing Maps also has the capability of adding points of interest with photos to the maps in its "collections" feature. While you have Roundhouse Park centred in your map at Bing Maps, click on "collections" and then click on the collection (created by us) named "Toronto Railway Heritage Centre" and you will find a collection of points of interest in the immediate area as well as for Roundhouse park itself. We will be adding to this collection in the near future.
