Hello All,

I was using v5 and just this morning the road colours changed... the map now looks cluttered and old... a bit AutoRoute 02'ish!

I have just changed it to v6.1 and still the same unfortunately.

Does anyone know how to change back to the old road colours? Or are we stuck with this new look?

Thanks,

Dave

first pls excuse my bad english

Im working on an virtual Earth Map overlayed on a Silverlightwebapplication.

all is working real fine but when i want to use a custom pin ( it has alpha channel activated )

i cant see throu it its all looking very awfull because i have so many pins on my map.

here some code

unction datenpin(abc, ort, plz, strasse,traktoren, kundenid, cde, hij, imgsource)
{
    if (map != null)
    { 
        //pin
   
       var pin = new VEShape(VEShapeType.Pushpin, new VELatLong(cde, hij));
      
       pin.SetCustomIcon(imgsource); <<< here i define my custom icon
       pin.SetTitle(abc);
       pin.SetDescription(ort + "
" + plz + "
" + strasse + "
" + "Anzahl Traktoren: " + traktoren + "
KundenID: " + kundenid);
       map.AddShape(pin);

im working with visual studio 2008 and as browser i use ie7

is this maybe an know issue? how do i get my .png shown transparent on my  map?

thank you for your time

My page shows secure data along with location on the map.

I setup a certificate and created a site that invokes the via earth api but when I browse I get the pop-up about secure and non secure items.

With fiddler2 I can see that the non secure calls (http invocations occur from the API)

How can I make the pop-up disappear?

I've got another interesting situation here.

When I import the KML file

http://www.landscapes2.org/mapping2/prelimfiles/suburban.kml

using the standard

map.ImportShapeLayerData(suburbShapeSpec, onFeed1Load, false);

The resulting map is different than the actual boundaries reflected in the KML.. If you load the file into Google Earth you can clearly see there are two "holes" where the suburban areas have been removed, but in the imported KML file on the map the holes are filled in.

You can see a screenshot showing the file in google earth and the result of the import here:

What might be causing this?

Many thanks in advance.

I have a machine that has been running VE along with the 3D plug in for many months.  I was away through August and at some point between late July and now, the 3D control has stopped displaying in 3D.  I can go to the maps.live.com site and click on 3D.  I get the usual loading banner and everything seems to work when looking straight down.  Pan, zoom, different types of imagery all work fine.  If I go to one of the oblique views, the view perspective changes but there is no relief in the terain.  If I watch the altitude values in the bottom right of the window, they are always 0 or negative.  The closer I zoom in, the closer they approach 0.  When looking at the continent, there are lots of values several thousand feet below sea level and none above sea level.  This is a corporate site with heavily managed workstations and several are exhibiting this behaviour but many others are not.  The machines are all the same model and are supposed to be at the same patch level.  They are all on the same network segment so it is not a firewall / filtering issue.  They all seem to have the same driver version for the video and direct x diag all show it to be working correctly with acceleration enabled.

I have uninstalled the control and re installed, and they all show version 2.5.803.21002.

Does anybody have any ideas on what else I can check?
