Flat map versus globe map

[seang]

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!

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.
