DeepEarth was designed to be a mapping control powered by the combination of Microsoft’s Silverlight 2.0 platform and the DeepZoom (MuliScaleImage) control.
 
At its core, it builds on these innovative technologies to provide an architecture for bringing together layers for services, data providers, and your own custom mapping elements together into an impressive user experience.

Also featured are in depth examples of how you can leverage Virtual Earth Web Services to take advantage of advanced GIS service functionality. This is what you need to get an interactive, native Silverlight 2.0, map into your application today.

DeepEarth supports the Virtual Earth Web Service (VEWS) for tile layers, geocoding (finding an address), reverse geocoding (getting an address from a point on the map) and routing.

· Fully implemented map control with property and event model
