Data Sources ProcessingStorageAccessDelivery VE AJAX Control 3D Control Maps are verified, reprojected, and tiled. In addition to tiling, photogrammetry is used to determine terrain elevation and build 3D models Road data is rendered into maps, then tiled. Aerial Imagery + Elevation data 3D Models Road Maps POI Data Data Centers Images captured via the UltraCam Maps & images licensed from USGA, Pictometry, NASA, GeoEye, etc. Road data and Points of interest are licensed from NavTeq
Made by Vexcel, acquired in May Megapixel 3 GB/Second 14 Processors Swappable Storage limited only by room on the plane Exclusive Source of Imagery for Creating 3D Building Models in Virtual Earth through Photogrammetry: Geometric properties of Buildings and Landscape can be determined from 2-D Photos.
AJAX Control Embedded in a web page, shows 2D maps Managed 3D Control Activated through the AJAX control Virtual Earth Web Services SOAP Web Services that handle server-side requests Map Cruncher A tool from MS Research to add your maps to the VE experience
Developed by Microsoft Research, now in Beta Takes digitized maps (jpg, pdf, etc.) and reprojects them, turns them into map tiles that can be layered on top of the base imagery Easy to use: just find 3 or more similar points on the digitized map and the base imagery (the more the better) and MapCruncher does the rest.
Map Control Access to both 2D and 3D; road, aerial & bird’s eye imagery Navigation tools: zoom, navigation panel, mini-map Events & callbacks to respond to user control Shapes Points, Lines, Polygons Placed on Layers with custom pop-ups Find Geocoding, Points of Interest/Yellow Pages listings Routing Multipoint routing, driving & walking directions Traffic Integration Integration Vector data from: GeoRSS/KML, Live Search Maps collections Raster data from custom tile layers (MapCruncher)

The new Virtual Earth Web Services offers static map images for road and aerial maps. ImageryServiceClient imageryService = new ImageryServiceClient(); MapUriRequest mapuriReq = new MapUriRequest { Credentials = new Credentials { Token = token }, Center = new Location { Latitude = , Longitude = }, Options = new MapUriOptions { ZoomLevel = 5, Style = MapStyle.AerialWithLabels, ImageType = ImageType.Gif, ImageSize = new SizeOfint { Height = 400, Width = 400 }, } }; MapUriResponse mapuriRep = imageryService.GetMapUri(mapuriReq);
The full power of the Microsoft Virtual Earth Routing Engine, exposed through SOAP-based web services, expands the potential for powerful location-based mobile applications or by letting server-side code work with routing data before it is sent to the user. RouteServiceClient routingService = new RouteServiceClient(); Waypoint[] points = new Waypoint[2]; points[0] = new Waypoint { Location = new Location { Latitude = , Longitude = } }; points[1] = new Waypoint { Location = new Location { Latitude = , Longitude = } }; RouteRequest routeReq = new RouteRequest { Credentials = new Credentials { Token = token }, Waypoints = points }; RouteResponse routeResp = routingService.CalculateRoute(routeReq);
