Gary Price spotted a Windows Live Local Blog update announcing new features added to Windows Live Local (aka Virtual Earth). There are two main features:
(1) You can navigate the maps in birds eye view, as you would in street or trips view. You simply can drag the map, zoom, using the same inset map construct as the other views.
(2) You can draw a line from point A to point B on the map and the map will tell you the distance of that line.
