The forum of mobile communication in Austria has launched a cadastral map for Austria which locate radio- and cellular radio transmitters in Austria. This service is supported by the Austrian federal agency of traffic, innovation and technology (Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Innovation und Technologie) and the telecommunication regulation authority with the objective to give citizen an overview about the positions and information of transmitters. A web map service inform users about this. The map was developed by WIGeoGIS and uses TeleAtlas data.

According to GWB a StreetView car was seen in Vienna. Maybe we can soon walk through Vienna virtually. Of course the faces of people and country code plates will be blurred to ensure privacy. But there are still some criticism about this service. Until now this message was not confirmed with a photo. So we will see when StreetView is coming to Austria.
In France Streetview was already launched and StreetView cars are seen in several other European cities including Milan, Berlin, etc.

Yesterday the first news came up that Graz and Vienna are now available in 3D. Virtual Earth was enhanced with the datasets of these cities.
The 3D information is derived from areal photographs recored in different angles.

Searching the own home place with Google Earth or Google Maps is definitively one of the most popular activities for many users. “Geoimage-Austria” has provided Google with new imagery for Burgenland, Upper Austria, Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Salzburg. All data is older than one year, but it should be possible to recognize an object with the size of an football.
Until 2009 a new, updated image is planned, which covers whole Austria.
Sample: Villach (this is older data, but also high resolution)
