A first for NZ: Virtual Earth Implementation

Computerworld New Zealand reports on what’s thought to be the first implementation of Virtual Earth in that country. It replaces the recently unstable app for the Maori Land Information Base, but provides no new functionality. The “old” app is here and was last updated in 2000. The article reports the company that provided the technology has since gone out of business.

If I understand the article correctly an Oracle/open source solution as well as a Google one were explored before selecting Microsoft in part because of previous use of its tools. The site is not yet publicly available. It was developed by E-spatial of Wellington.
