Virtual Earth Concepts

Welcome to the Virtual Earth Concetps website. This website will present overviews of mapping concepts using Microsoft Virtual Earth. The intent of this web site is to present conceptual solutions to some potential issues in the implemenation of Virtual Earth in your web applications.

This site is new, so please check back for more examples as they become available. If there are certian issues that you would like to have addressed, please feel free to contact us via email.

Online Examples

Drag Handles: Polygon (04/25/2008):
This example provides and overview of how drag handles can be implemented to aide in the process of editing a polygon. This example build off of the polyline drag handle example.(more...)

Drag Handles: Polyline (04/25/2008):
This example provides and overview of how drag handles can be implemented to aide in the process of editing a poly line.(more...)

Selection Box, Part 2 (01/29/2008):
This is part 2 of the selection box example. In this example, the selection process is added so that a series of push pins can be selected for a given selection box.(more...)

Selection Box (01/18/2008):
This example provides an overview of how to implement a selection box on the map to select various items. This is part one of this concept.(more...)

Animated Push Pin: Dropping In (01/17/2008):
This example provides an overview of how you can add some animation to the push pins on the map.(more...)

Dynamic Info Box (12/18/2007):
This example provides an overview of how to implement dynamic content in the info box via the use of AJAX.(more...)

Push Pin Side Bar (12/12/2007):
This example provides an overview of how to implement an interactive side bar for all of the push pins on a given map.(more...)

Moveable Polygon (12/04/2007):
This example provides an overview of how to implement a moveable (dragable) polygon.(more...)

Moveable Push Pins, Part 5, Custom Push Pins (11/28/2007):
In part 5 of this series, we'll take a look at how the map can be visually enhance by using custom icons for the push pins. This example will build off of the previous example outlined in Part 4.(more...)

Moveable Push Pins, Part 4, Automatic Panning (11/23/2007):
In part 4 of this series, we'll take a look at how the map can be automatically panned as the push pin is mopved towards the edges of the map. This example will build off of the previous example outlined in Part 3.(more...)

Moveable Push Pins, Part 3, Determining Direction (11/20/2007):
In part 3 of what's turning out to be a muti-part series, we'll take a look at how the direction a push pin is being moved can be determined. This example will build off of the previous example outlined in Part 2.(more...)

Moveable Push Pins, Part 2, Multiple Push Pins (11/19/2007):
This example builds off of the Moveable Push Pin example. In this example, multiple push pins are located on the map and each push pin can be moved independently. (more...)

Moveable Push Pins (11/18/2007):
This example provides an overview of how to implement moveable (dragable) pushpins in Virtual Earth v6. (more...)
