MSR Maps(formerly Terraserver USA) -
The Microsoft Research Maps Web site is one of the world's largest online databases, providing free public access to a vast data store of maps and aerial photographs of the United States. Microsoft Research Maps is designed to work with commonly available computer systems and Web browsers over slow speed communications links.
Exploring our planet by studying maps and images is a fascinating experience! Not surprisingly, the first place many people visit is their own neighborhood. You also might want to take a look at famous places such as our National Parks or your favorite sports parks. Microsoft Research Maps is also a valuable resource for researchers who was to study geography, environmental issues or archeological mysteries...there are almost limitless possibilities.
You can easily navigate the enormous amount of information in Microsoft Research Maps by selecting a location on a map or entering a place name. And now, a new Web service--called Microsoft Research Maps.NET--enables Web developers to easily integrate Microsoft Research Maps data into their own applications.
Microsoft Research Maps is operated by the Microsoft Corporation as a research project for developing advanced database technology, and was born at the Microsoft Bay Area Research Center. Microsoft Research Maps foundation is Microsoft SQL Server 2000, the complete relational database management and analysis system for building scalable e-commerce, line-of-business, and data warehousing solutions.
Equipment and additional software is provided by the Hewlett-Packard Corporation and other partners. See Technology Behind the Site for more information. Maps and images are supplied through our partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey.
