The 1st question is which version of the map control are you using? V2 requires a conditional comment to work on Firefox, V3 doesn't. The next question is how are you loading the map? You should call the LoadMap method after the page load event. Good luck Willy,

I noticed that the export to Google Earth is working just fine. Also note that the version of Microsoft's new maps hosted at <a href="http://my3dvistas.com/" rel="nofollow">My3DVistas</a> has some additional features worth checking out.

One of the guys in my office who has spent time playing flight simulator said that many of the features (like the Golden Gate Bridge) looked identical in this new environment, so Microsoft has almost definitely taken advantage of that crew already! :) Interesting analysis Robbie…

Most people don't use Google maps or Google earth - most people use mapquest and old school yahoo. In terms of other applications, I think you're right - desktop with serious online connectivity is killer. I couldn't imagine using Google Office (or MS Office Live) for anything more than little changes here and there. Dedicated desktop apps are still much better and will be for a while.
