"Courtney Cox's 2009 sitcom, "COUGAR TOWN", is set in a residential neighborhood in Florida, a cul de sac of red tile-roofed homes.

In real life, that street (in the pilot episode) was actually the 9800 block of Forbes Avenue, in North Hills - in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. (You can see one house on that street in the...

It works now because I fixed it for you. Just hang in there & don't get frustrated. By the way, the new map you submitted had the same problem as this one had originally. After you got the scene you wanted to submit, did you switch from Bird's eye to either Aerial or Road mode and then back to Bird's eye. That's the step that is absolutely necessary in order to get a good URL.

Follow these instructions to solve the problem you're having with URLs:

In the VGT viewer

After you have your scene lined up, you MUST switch out of Bird's Eye View then back into Bird's Eye View, re-adjust the zoom level and direction as needed. Verify your URL by selecting the URL link and click "Direct View". This will open the Bing Maps interface in a new tab/window. Note: the direction may be wrong, but if you can view your scene by just changing directions...

When you retrieve the URL, submit it as is. There is no longer a need to copy/paste coordinates. That's what caused the zoom problem.

As to not being a fan, you are definitely not alone. Let them know what you think with the link at the bottom right corner of the Bing interface.

Earthrace is a 24m (78ft) tri-hull wavepiercer that has been designed and built specifically to get the record for a powerboat to circumnavigate the globe. She is an advanced endurance vessel, capable of submarining up to 7m (23ft) underwater as she powers across oceans. One journalist recently reported "Earthrace is like a rally car but for oceans, with her ability to handle rough seas and storm conditions at high speed."
