New Birdseye-view functionality and Minimap

JeffK_

Well,

i just noticed, the local.live site got some nice new features,

the Birdseye-view without scrolling restrictions,

and the new minimap.

for the new birdseye-view, i think its a feature that must be implemented by the api, is it available somehow

Would be nice to have the minimap implemented in the v4 dashboard, but i think i can do it myself.

I'd like to know too, although it seemed these new features just got rolled out over the new years so it seems to still be in testing phase

To no surprise, this site is ripping off maps.live.com, and not their own developed control.

Found this piece of code on their page

document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='http://maps.live.com/veapi.ashx v=1.3.1115150037.31'></script>");

JeffK_

what do you mean

i just refer to the v4 control in the html :

<script src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v4/mapcontrol.js"></script>

Derek Chan

So this is your app your writing

Weird, found this line when I was debugging the app using firebug.

function ____downloadMapControl()

2{

3 document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='http://maps.live.com/veapi.ashx v=1.3.1115150037.31'></script>");

4};____downloadMapControl();
