Virtual EarthMicrosoft Virtual Earth is designed to help your organization analyze data within the context of location. When data is plotted on a map, a big picture view enables you to understand the geospatial relationship so that trends and patterns become more apparent. You can drill down on a point of interest and expose further detail on location and surroundings. Virtual Earth also includes highly accurate, photo-realistic 3D city models that enable you to explore locations from all vantage points and perspectives.
