The only pre-requisite is that an itrack device is carried by the object to be tracked. The itrack devices are like GPS-equipped mobile phones, but are especially designed for geo-tracking purposes.

23 The way of loading predisposes for the dynamic nature of Virtual Earth.

24 The bullets depict the current location of itrack devices. Just a free of charge (unanswered) call to the itrack device is enough to get its current position in Virtual Earth.

25 The scroll-enabled zoomin/out functions are very easy and highly accurate.

26 The bird s eye option in the horizontal task bar offers a unique experience. A flexible white frame prompts users to select the desired region for the bird s eye view.

27 This selection allows the rapid downloading and presentation of highresolution air images.

28 By just clicking on the bullet a multitude of (real-time) data related to the itrack device are presented (date/time, speed, battery level, GPS signal)
