Birds Eye Navigation Improvement
A nice improvement was just released for Virtual Earth’s Birds Eye navigation at https://local.live.com. The Birds Eye navigation thumbnail grid has been replaced with an inset map for easier usability (see screenshot below). Please note, this feature is currently only available at https://local.live.com, but will definitely be added as a feature in the next release of the Virtual Earth Map Control API. For more info on the https://local.live.com release that went out yesterday please go to https://virtualearth.spaces.live.com.

Wow!! I love the bird's eye navigation. Fantastic. Is there any idea of how long it will be before we can use the new nav? Magnificent.Anonymous

One question about navigation: Why is zoom-in, zoom-out with mouse wheel reversed? It doesn't match my expectations developed by video games or Google Earth.Anonymous

by IgorV, In birds eye view when I move the wheel forward, it zooms in and when I move the wheel backwards it zooms out. I like it this way, it is weird the oher way unless your mouse is pointing up and down. I can see in certain cases this can be confussing.Anonymous
