Microsoft Photosynth released a new feature “Overhead View” that allows you to look at the synth from above in 3D points. It also offers a new way of navigation, which is particularly handy for larger area synths. On hover it will show you pictures covering that region and clicking will get you a great transition into the 3D experience starting with that photo!

• new Silverlight 3 based viewer
• “View” button on the synther now automatically logs you in to the Web site and takes you directly into the editor so that you can complete title/description, and give your synth highlights and a geotag.
• Geotagging is now easier and you can even scale and rotate your synth in the map in a process called “geoalignment”
• Multiword search improvements
