TerraViewer for MapPoint BETA Available

View aerial photography seemlessly within MapPoint

-----------------------------------------------------------
TerraViewer is an add-on to Microsoft MapPoint 2002 (and above) that integrates the TerraServer USA web service (http://terraserver-usa.com), developed by Microsoft Research, seamlessly into the MapPoint North American Maps desktop product. The product enables end users to view terabytes of United States Geological Survey (USGS) archived aerial photography and sixteen color topographic maps locally on their desktop via a simple user interface directly within MapPoint. The date of the captured images is also displayed; imagery can also be made translucent so that the MapPoint maps can be viewed underneath.

The aerial imagery includes high-resolution 1ft color 'urban' orthographic images available for the major urban areas in the USA. Over 30 major metropolitan areas currently available including Washington DC, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles and Seattle.



The beta version can be downloaded from the following link:
