[OpenLayers-Users] Overview Map Question

Tue Jan 9 18:53:00 EST 2007

yeah, the virtualearth-thing is broken:

http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/ve.html

strange. the url is still valid (
http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v3/mapcontrol.js) but points to a
script that returns an error:

http://maps.live.com/veapi.ashx?v=1.3.0908172755.52
