Microsoft sold its mapping cameras to Uber, but that doesn’t mean it has turned its back on the technology.

Today Microsoft announced a new addition to Bing Maps: up-to-date snapshots of traffic. The footage is coming from more than 35,000 cameras in 11 countries, including the U.S. and Spain.

All you have to do is click on the Traffic button in the top banner in Bing Maps.

You can check out aggregated views of multiple cameras within a given city or look at a slightly larger photo from a single camera.

A blog post has more detail on the launch.

Bing Maps underwent a major redesign earlier this year.
