Virtual Earth gets terrain

Microsoft’s Virtual Earth has integrated terrain for Great Britain.

A couple of examples.

The view of Scafell from Great Gable:

The view of Catbells and the Jaws of Borrowdale from Friars Crag:

Google earth has had terrain for a while, but this would appear to be more detailed than their offering (but not a lot)

I’m bigging this one up because it has come to Great Britain first, I always like it when we are ahead .

Bang goes a whole load more hours looking at things for no real purpose.
