Official Beijing Olympic Venue Map Disappoints; BBC Goes Interactive with VE
I’ve been hunting around for the best maps of the Beijing Olympic venues. I’ve been disappointed so far with what I’ve found. Seems like Beijing released an official standard map of the event that everyone is copying, but its a very static and not very helpful. However, the BBC is using Microsoft Virtual Earth for their olympic venue map and they’ve done an absolutely fantastic job. It’s icon driven; click on the icon; see a snapshot of the building and get the events that will take place; click on the event and you’ll see the Brits that will compete. The BBC site was launched July 16.
