Flat map versus globe map   
I've seen reference to the ability in other MapPoint products to be able to 
configure whether views beyond 9200 km are viewed as a flat map or a global 
map, but I can't find anything in the WebService API.  
I'd like to keep the projection static (orthographic) in all views, if 
possible.  I don't know if the WebService returns maps in different 
projections at different zoom levels?  If it does, is there any options to 
control this?

Thank you!

RE: Flat map versus globe map   
Hi,

I believe the only way to get the globular view is to zoom out extremely far 
and thus your point becomes a speck on the map.  Other then that you could 
try switching to terrain style but I believe that you're pretty much stuck to 
the 'flat' maps unless you're using Virtual Earth.
