Default New Virtual Earth maps

With the vast updates that Microsoft has been putting out for Virtual Earth, I decided to add those to our site as well. Now, when you're viewing a course page, you'll see a link to view it in Google Maps and also one to view it in Virtual Earth.

Here is an example:
http://atlanta.golfnation.org/vemap1...ones-golf-club

The cool thing about this is that you often get different images -- sometimes better, sometimes worse. Also, you can click the "3D" button the map and get the 3D view right in your browser! (note: it will take a minute to load and only works on Windows PCs)

For courses near large cities, link the sample above, it looks really cool with all of the 3D buildings around.

Another update! We've added Yahoo Maps as well!

It's not as exciting as the Virtual Earth update (no 3D or anything), but should be pretty useful nonetheless.
