Supporting Virtual Earth Maps in your web page
Adding maps to your web page can be a great tool to help determine locations. You can use Virtual Earth to serve up the maps based on geo location data.
Here's a html code sample for serving up virtual earth maps.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var map = null;
var qsParm = new Array();
function GetMap()
{
qsParm['Lat'] = null;
qsParm['Long'] = null;
qs();
// Get Lat & Long
if (qsParm['lat'] && qsParm['long'])
{
}
else
{
document.write("Missing Lat & Long");
return;
}
map = new VEMap('myMap');
var geolat = qsParm['lat']
var geolong = qsParm['long']
map.SetDashboardSize(VEDashboardSize.Normal);
var latlong = new VELatLong(geolat,geolong);
map.LoadMap(latlong, 20 ,'h' ,false);
map.SetCenterAndZoom(latlong,15);
return;
}
function qs()
{
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var parms = query.split('&');
for (var i=0; i<parms.length; i++)
{
var pos = parms[i].indexOf('=');
if (pos > 0)
{
var key = parms[i].substring(0,pos);
var val = parms[i].substring(pos+1);
qsParm[key] = val;
}
}
}
