This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate Bing Maps services into your mapping application. Bing layers allow you to display high-quality aerial imagery, road maps, and hybrid views from Microsoft's Bing Maps platform, providing additional basemap options for your applications.
You'll learn how to:
- Create a Bing Maps layer with your API key
- Configure imagery types (aerial, road, hybrid)
- Set layer visibility properties
- Add the Bing layer to your map's overlay manager
Bing Maps integration is valuable for applications that require alternative basemap imagery or specific Microsoft mapping services. This capability allows you to leverage Bing's global coverage, regular updates, and specialized imagery types to enhance your mapping applications with high-quality base layers.
