Now this is pretty slick! Go to this link at the MapChannels website, choose a location with the Google Maps interface, fill out a simple form, select some basic options, and get embeddable code that lets you display the same location in both Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps, side by side. Scroll/zoom one side, and the other follows automatically; you can also change the view (Map/Satellite/Terrain for Google, Road/Aerial/Hybrid/Bird’s Eye for Microsoft) independently for each side.
