If you want to mess around with Virtual Earth a little then the VE for Government blog has pointed us to some fine resources of interest.
For starters, the Virtual Earth interactive SDK lets you test some of the functionality, complete with video tutorial and online help. Taking this one step further, a full-blown active site showing some of the things you can accomplish with the SDK can be found at the eVA Emergency Procurement Mapping System (BETA) website. The application is meant to help users locate essential items during a time of crisis.
