Multimap ( http://www.webmapper.net/maps/dhtml/ discusses how http://www.iandodd.comre-wrote the code for the lens to work as an information filter; moving the lens over the map, the lens would show the aerial photo as a transparent layer on top of the map at the same scale.) http://www.mappy.com/ Mappy has taken this feature even further. Instead of having the aerial photo only show up as a transparent layer when moving a lens over the map, the full map view is taken up by either the map or imagery. A slider widget
allows users to change the transparency of the map layer for the aerial photo to appear. The lettering, such as street names, remains visible at all times. All in all, it's a really neat trick to make the transition between map and imagery more subtle. From http://www.webmapper.net/archives/2005/04/
