Unique search capabilities of Virtual Earth
Virtual Earth provides you a blend of yellow pages data, maps as well as beautiful aerial imagery. Virtual Earth program is specifically designed with the aim of allowing its users to travel around our world and share data about any desired location. For instance, if the user searches for an address and view maps, an aerial photo of desired location is superimposed with its highway labels. Users are able to retrieve information by making use of a tool named ‘search field’ in a collapsible pane that is positioned at the upper left of the screen.
According to Microsoft, the program Virtual Earth depends on yellow pages directory for the important information. Furthermore, the enhanced feature, scratch pad gives people to save addresses of the location that they are search. The program Virtual Earth gives you a comfortable as well as reliable search experience, which allows its user to see as well as imagine if they are at that location and easily explore whatever they want to.
Virtual Earth program has been released to give direct competition with the Google earth’s beta version. In the program Google Earth, whatever files you want to use must be downloaded on your computer first that means the information of your need is processed by Google and then reverted to you via browser. However in Virtual Earth Beta, VE runs fully on server of Microsoft through your browser.
Virtual Earth’s ‘Locate Me’ feature is indeed a great experience if you have wi-fi card available in your computer. You have to click on the ‘Locate Me’ button and after enabling ActiveX and downloading the Location Finder application; you are able to view your current location. Virtual Earth illustrates your current location according to the Wi-Fi points of access. Locate me function is not of great use, if you are not having a Wi-Fi card on your PC. In this case, Virtual Earth uses IP address to show your current location.
