Hi Daryl,

At first I have to say I feel very sorry that I did not see your question 
earlier.

Nevertheless here is the answer, maybe you don't need it anymore, but in 
that case just forget it.

In fact this solution has not much to do with C++.

In the first place you need the VirtualEarth Tile Name 
generator:http://www.gnewt.org/timoney/vetileinfo.php

This php-application generates the name of the picture by inputting the lat 
& lon coordinates.

if you put 0,50,4,51,10 for min lon, min lat, max lon, max lat and zoomlevel 
10

you will receive several names.

Then you can put the name in the next sentence and you get the picture

http://t0.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/h0313131331.pg?g=117

the h stands for hybrid I think.



I suppose  there are more combinations available, but this is what I found 
out.

Regards

Anton
