Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7:-Microsoft has launched a very interesting feature recently called the ‘touch pack’. Microsoft Virtual Earth is also playing a very important role in this new feature. This application of Virtual Earth in the Touch Pack is called Microsoft Surface Globe. Like the other websites, Microsoft Touch Pack also allows you to take in your hand the whole of the earth. With the use of the 3D engine of Virtual Earth, it displays the 3D version of the world. With the ‘touch’ option you can search for any place of your choice and can navigate to various locations and also collect local information. You can even ‘pin’ your favorite locations or things.
This feature is so amazing that one can even take the privilege of flying and hovering above the buildings. It also gives you the pleasure of a gaming effect as it can be viewed on the full screen. You can also add your own personal information to various places using the several 3D pushpins which are made available to us. The navigation map provided to you allows us to look at our globe from an orthographical manner. We can also tilt the earth as per our choice. You can also export your own information into the maps through the Collections Editor. One can also disable all the pins at once so that the users can have a more accurate view at the place they want. Also road maps style is also included in this feature which will show you the vector roads as well, although aerial is the default.
These features are mind blowing and one should make full utilization of these features as they provide us with unlimited information about the world.
