Virtual Earth Map Data Release – January, 2009

Microsoft Virtual Earth has the road and postal codes data update for North America, Europe and Asia. For a list of countries where coverage for Virtual Earth data exists you can check it out in the MapPoint Web Service Geographic Coverage page in the SDK and add Japan to it. You see, MapPoint Web Service and Virtual Earth use the same data, but VE has Japan, MWS does not, reportsChris Pendleton.
