      • Hi, I am currently trying to get the Longitude and Latitude co-ordinates whilst in the Birds Eye view mode but it would seem this is not possible even though you are allowed to set pushpins whilst in this mode... I would have thought if you could set pushpins, you should also be able to retrieve details... Has anyone managed to get around this issue Cheers, Woody.

      • I guess this issue has to do with your intentions vis a vis images. You have a small image libary built into Creator for purposes of page design. Is it your intention to host images or do you assume that everyone will host their images elsewhere (Flickr, Photobucket, etc.) If you are thinking of allowing some amount of image hosting you might consider two things: 1.

I am referring to the geographic labels - cities, mountains, roads, rivers, etc. - that are drawn by VE into the road and hybrid tiles, not to the pushpin labels one creates on the map. Is there a way to do this Thanks in advance for any help.
