Just less than a month after Bing's 165TB update, Bing Maps has added 215TB of new data to its service. The update powers Bing's Bird's Eye feature that lets you view stadiums in New York, or Disneyland in Tokyo at a 45 degree "bird's eye" view. The latest update brings the total of Bird's Eye imagery up to 302TB, this means that there is 1,388,593 square kilometers of land on Bing now!

So BGR Reports that they have received a set of photos showing portions of the new Maps app in iOS 6. Based on the photos, the site has put together a mockup demonstrating how the app may appear in iOS 6

"BGR has obtained exclusive information and photos of parts of Apple’s new Maps app from a trusted source, and the app features a refreshed user interface including a brand new navigation bar. This bar, we’re told, is silver instead of blue. Since the current Maps app follows the standard blue iOS color scheme, we think it’s possible Apple might shift toward a silver color theme in iOS 6 like on the iPad.  
The iPhone version of Maps has a floating locate me button (it sounds very similar to Android’s Google Maps app) in the bottom left corner. To access 3D mode, which will make use of Apple’s C3 Technologies acquisition, you have to peel back the lower right corner of Maps just like the current version and enable 3D mode. Once enabled, you can switch in and out of 3D mode by tapping a 3D icon in the lower left corner."



You can see all of the photos here including the 3D toggle button on the bottom left hand side of the image.
