Thanks Andrew,
This is good suggestion. I would do some research on how to use altitude.
your example is great.. and i learnt quite some thanks once again.

Thanks, Vishal.

Using the Bing API, Location elements can take three parameters : latitude, longitude and elevation, so there’s no reason why you can’t draw 3D curves. However, you would need a 3D viewer to see the difference.

hi,
this is a great post, it helped me understand how to draw curves on a 2d map and the concept behind it.
will it be possible to draw multi elevation curves and lines
for example given two sets of data both consists of length (in miles) and a elevation as a number
would it be possible to draw arc that goes upto to certain curve and then rises / drops to the new elevation? like a glider’s path.
