GMDL with MS Live Maps Satellite

Hello and let me just say wonderful program.

I'm having a small problem. I cant for the life of me get microsoft maps to work.

My area for whatever reason seems to have a much better satellite view from live maps than it does from google.

I have already downloaded a few maps from google and i thought getting live maps to work would be just as easy ... its not.

Can someone offer me any tips or is there a walkthrough already written ?? Please keep in mind im using the latest version so im not sure if anything has changed also note the fact that i am trying to get the satellite part of it to work and could care less about just the map, altho i dont mind if its a hybrid.

thank you for your time and once again wonderful program / forum
