By integrating Microsoft© Bing Maps™, WorldNewsMapper can access one of the best global online map libraries with satellite images, road maps, and aerial photographs.

Smooth flights thanks to BingMaps™-web server
Bing Maps™ is a familiar name to many viewers using the web. All map parts needed to generate a scene are downloaded from the Bing Maps™ web server, and the whole is provided as a video file before the scene is saved. This method allows flights free of judders over and through the maps.

Maps down to street level
Bing Maps™ are available in a resolution of 0.3 metres per pixel. At this resolution, roads and buildings can be seen in all their detail. This map material is constantly updated and expanded by Microsoft©. It is possible to change the map format by the animation.

Bird's eye photographs
The bird's eye images are impressive 45° aerial photographs that are available for many of the world's cities and other places. Thanks to their high resolution, they give the viewer the impression of being there directly. Any perspective can be selected.

Taking a closer look
Like satellite images, bird's eye images too can be superimposed with the names of roads, places, and public squares. The zoom object is an easy to use tool for integrating bird's eye images and high resolution maps in a variety of formats in your story.
