Overview
To some Bing Map (Virtual Earth) is Microsoft's answer to Google Earth - to others Bing Map is the most powerful online mapping technology that allows maps to be seamlessly integrated into a website. AJAX technology means users can smoothly pan and zoom the maps, and data visualized on the map, such as traffic data, climate change, and housing prices can be dynamically updated.
To showcase this technology, SSW has developed
www.Spyk.com, an award winning Real Estate website aggregating housing prices
from other major portals.
Note: We have also done work with Google Earth - it works - although for a developer the experience is not close to Microsoft's Bing Map Technology.
Benefits
- Smoothly scrolling/zooming maps on any website
- Easy to understand geographic visualization of your data
- 3D Capabilities
