Virtual Earth
Virtual Earth is a 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 visualised on the map, such as traffic data, climate change, and housing prices can be dynamically updated.
