MapCruncher for Virtual Earth Description

Have you ever looked at satellite photos of a building in Virtual Earth -- and wished you could zoom right in and see its floorplan? Have you ever used VE to plan a trip across town -- and wanted to seamlessly switch from its road maps to maps of bicycle trails, bus routes, or carpool lanes? Have you ever wanted to create and publish your own map mashups and wished you had an instrument to integrate your map into Virtual Earth? With MapCruncher, you can. MapCruncher is a tool designed to quickly convert existing maps into an online format that is as fast and easy to use as Virtual Earth. MapCruncher transforms maps into a common Mercator projection used by Virtual Earth. By putting a large collection of maps into a common projection, users can mix-and-match maps to use them in new ways. MapCruncher will take your input map (such as a PDF), and generate a collection of small, correctly-aligned tiles that can be viewed in Virtual Earth. There are a few things that MapCruncher is not. MapCruncher is not designed to handle schematic (not to-scale) maps. MapCruncher is not geographically perfect. It uses an approximation to transform maps, and thus sacrifices some precision in feature location. MapCruncher is not a tool for drawing maps; instead, it is designed to convert existing maps into a web-viewable form.
