viewing satellite map image

[Kencana]

hi Jason,

Thanx for the reply...you are saying that if i have the satellite images
then the easiest way is to make the map that contains both normal and
satellite..what if I don't have the satellite image?is that possible to link
to the google map and get the image?if yes, how it can be done?by the
way...i have another question which is..is that possible to attach a tooltip
to the push pin just like google map have done..user can close the tool tip,
access some features such as "What is near by",etc..
I am looking forward for the reply and thank you for the guidance...

Regards,
Kencana
