[...] TouchMaps is a similar approach, abstracted from an application currently in the store. There’s not much info about it yet, just a teaser video. [...]

Yeah all layers are MS.

It might be hard at first to plugin yahoo or google data… The code was originally written just for MSVE. It can be done – and there is obviously interest – but its not going to happen overnight.

Looks interesting, though I am allergic to MS products [even w/ free licenses]. I'll check out the code this week and see how easy it is to plug in Google or Yahoo instead. I do like the layers offered in your demo [i assume that they are part of the MS dataset?].
