Bing Maps for Windows 8.1 has introduced a whole slew of new features, ranging from user interface tweaks to tie-ins with popular services like Yelp and TripAdvisor, to expanded regional availability of transit and driving directions. The preview version of Bing Maps has added in the ability to find cities with 3D models on the map through an Explore 3D experience. You can also mark locations as favorites and have them sync across Windows Phone and PCs, and the search bar (which is now always visible) provides automatically suggested results as you type.
The Bing Maps Preview is obviously the flashier option between the two, but one way or the other, you'll enjoy tons of useful navigation, search, and discovery functions. As always, you can check traffic conditions, dig into rich data on local points of interest, and find operating hours and user reviews for nearby businesses.
You can find the updated version of Bing Maps in the Windows Store here, or you can take a look at Bing Maps Preview here. How often do you guys use Bing Maps? Are you digging the new features? Anything in particular you'd liketo see added?
