Dual Maps let you display two maps side-by-side for a single location. Use the dual map to combine the features of Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps within one embeddable control. The control also includes the new Google Street View option to view ground level imagery of major US cities. A central divider bar lets you maximize either map. You can optionally display a marker on the map. You can customize the settings for your own needs. The default setting shows the Google Road Map on the left hand map and the Virtual Earth Birdseye view map on the right hand side. Note that the Bird's eye view is not available for all areas, Hybrid view is used if the Bird's eye view is unavailable.
When the Bird's eye view is selected additional parameters are available to set the facing direction and the centre of the bird's eye map. This can be used to optimize the view of a particular location and is useful for showing images of large buildings or structures. The default view of San Francisco demonstrates the combination of Street View, Google Map and Virtual Earth bird's eye view.

New: Dual Maps Version 2 is an update of the original Dual Maps with extra features aimed at improving the integration of Street View with the maps. New features include :
- The Street View is displayed in a separate pane above the Google map.
- Place markers can be displayed on the Google Map and/or the VE map.
- A marker tracks movement of the street view location on both maps (using the Google My Maps 'Cab' image).
- A FOV (Field of view) polygon is displayed on the Google map to show the current facing direction.
- When the street view direction changes the Bird's Eye VE map also rotates to the nearest available direction (N/S/E/W).
