Virtual Earth 3D

So today I was playing around with a way to get the mapping seamlessly into 3D without having to load up Google Earth. I came up with a solution by integrating Microsofts Virtual Earth into the viewer. Basically there is a link in the tackle box next to the map that says "3D Virtual Earth (Beta)". If you click this link it will load up the map in 3D. The first time you load it, a prompt will come up for you to download the 3D pluggin. You only need to download and install this pluggin one time. Once you download and run the program, the map will show up in 3D. There are various controls to tilt the viewer, zoom in, return to 2d, etc. I will continue to improve this functionality so that the viewer becomes more user friendly and interesting to use. Let me know if you have any questions/problems with it?

Thanks,
