Exploring applications go beyond just seeing locations and searching for particular places. They can link in more map tools, as well as much more detailed information about your basic data. They can also include special base map options (such as a Google Earth 3-D view, a Google Street View image or a Microsoft Virtual Earth Bird's Eye view). Related databases can help users learn much more about individual sites than just a simple name or location.
