虚拟地球或Google地图 [英] Virtual Earth or Google Maps

问题描述

简单的问题，答案可能不是......

我将为客户开发一个Web应用程序（ASP.NET MVC）。他们询问我是否使用Google地图或Virtual Earth提供地图解决方案的意见。

你会选择哪一个，为什么？或者是否有其他人可以推荐？

您还需要知道什么？

1. 在不久的将来，街景视图（或同等视图）不会是
   ，而是
   。


2. 客户希望识别某些
   可映射的功能，并且在
   指定距离内
   可以找到这些功能。
   

还有什么我应该考虑的高层次？或者我的客户？

预先感谢您。 您的主要考虑事项需要获得许可，如果这是针对商业网站的。您必须联系Google和Microsoft以了解确切的详细信息和定价，但网络上有很多信息表明，在生产中实施这些解决方案可能需要花费1万美元。尽管他们让你着迷于快速而简单的开发！

我偏好使用Google地图，但感觉有些s but，但我已经开发了一些相当不错的原型Virtual Earth SDK之前。

我不知道微软是否计划与StreetView功能相当，因此如果未来需求卡上存在该功能，那么坚持使用Google 。

这两种技术都可以让您以各种方式搜索地理特征 - 无论是通过地区，街道地址还是特定的纬度+经度。他们还允许您覆盖自己的图像或绘制线条，多边形等。

Google Maps似乎有更广泛的用户群（尽管微软在技术上做了这些事情之前Google深入了解它！），因此在实施解决方案时，您可能会发现更多有关intarweb的帮助，而不是Microsoft。

Simple question, the answer may not be...

I'm going to be developing a web app (ASP.NET MVC) for a client. They have asked me for an opinion on whether to use Google Maps or Virtual Earth for providing a mapping solution.

Which would you go for and why? Or are there others you can recommend?

What else do you need to know?

1. Street view (or equivalent) won't be necessary in the near future, but one day it might.
2. The client wants to identify certain mappable features, and beyond that find these features when within a specified distance.

What else should I be considering at a high level? Or my client?

Thank you in advance.

解决方案

One of your major considerations needs to be licensing if this is for a commercial web site. You'll have to contact both Google and Microsoft for exact details and pricing, but there's plenty on the web that indicates it could cost you $10k to implement these solutions in production. They get you hooked on the rapid and easy development though!

My preference is for Google Maps, it just feels a bit slicker but I have developed some pretty good prototypes with the Virtual Earth SDK before.

I don't know if Microsoft are planning an equivalent to the StreetView feature so if that is on the requirements cards in the future then stick with Google.

Either of the technologies will allow you to search for geographic features in various ways - whether via region, street address or specific latitude + longitude. They also allow you to overlay your own images or draw lines, polygons etc.

Google Maps seems to have a wider user base (even though Microsoft were technically doing this stuff before Google got into it!), so you're likely to find more help out on the intarweb when implementing your solution than for Microsoft.
