Bingo!

About a month ago, I mentioned that the Bing Maps Streetside car came through our neighborhood and that my daughter, her boyfriend and I ran up the road to greet it as it made its return trip. (It had to make a return trip because we live in a neighborhood of dead ends.)

As the car passed us by, we waved and the driver honked its horn.

I have been checking Bing Maps ever since to see if we are on the map and today I discovered that we do indeed make an appearance. The screen capture of the Bing Maps Streetside image (above left) shows me using my iPhone to capture the photo (above right) of the car as it passed by.

To see us for yourself, go to Bing Maps, look up "477 Beecher Rd., Wolcott, CT 06716," then use the Streetside function and see us standing at the corner of Beecher Road and Glen Avenue.

A Visit from the Bing Maps Streetside Car

About 4:30 PM today, the Bing Maps Streetside car came through our neighborhood. 

My daughter saw the car go down the street and we knew it would have to come back our way because we live in a neighborhood of dead ends. About 5 minutes later, it came by again. We waved as it passed and the driver honked at us, but it remains to be seen if we will be on the map! 

The Google Maps car has yet to make a visit in our neighborhood, so it was nice to see the Microsoft-mobile!
