I had already used google maps to create an map containing images that were taken by students on a trip to our college building whilst it was being built. I have now revisited this map to add photos of it now we are in the building.

I have also added links to Blurb photobooks of student images and youtube videos of college tours created by students in the form of roller coasters.
I was disappointed that even youtube videos could not be embedded and that I could not change the colour of the icons-so had to use envelops for more recent images (Though I could have added my own symbols).
I tried a similar task with bing maps but found myself disappointed with this as well. I found it more complex interface to use. Though I do like the fact you can take a tour through images in bing. Below is a tutorial I made a while ago on how to use bing maps to document a field trip.
I like your campus map. My college is probably moving too, so this is something I'd like to do. I've never tried Bing maps - I didn't even know it existed. Something else to add to the list...
