| Windows Live Local When you click on the 'Show in Windows Live Local' button, MapPoint launches IE with an address that shows the locality. The address string seems to contain the lat & long of the centre of the map plus some other stuff. for example:- ?http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?cp=51.855331%7c-2.236376&style=h&lvl=16&v=1 (obviously without the ? at the beginning!) can anyone shed any light on what style, lvl and v relate to (I've sussed out that lvl seems to relate to the altitude but can't figure out an exact correlation between the actual altitude (in miles or kilometres) and what's required). Many thanks

Virtual Earth works in terms of preset zoom (altitude) settings. So lvl of 16 is probably zoomed in quite a bit. 15 would be a bit less (higher altitude), 17 would be zoomed in a bit more (lower altitude). Richard

Here's the post about the zoom settings.. Virtual Earth, An Evangelist's Blog : Map Control: Zoom Levels - Resolution I like this part... How did we arrive at these seemingly convoluted numbers? The answer should be. Well, honestly, we just copied Google Maps. hehe. Eric

| Maps.Live.com URL parameters
Here's information about the other URL parameters.. Live Search Maps API Click on Help at the bottom of maps.live.com and search for "Build your own url" v is the version, I think you can ignore it. Here are the settings for style Defines the map view. Valid values for this parameter include: a: Use this value to display an aerial view of the map. r: Use this value to display a road view of the map. h: Use this value to display an aerial view of the map with labels. o: Use this value to display a bird's eye (oblique) view of the map. b: Use this value to display a bird's eye (oblique) with labels view of the map. hope this helps! Eric
