The following is a list of some of the key features in Bing Maps along with links to documentation and interactive code samples.
In addition to the standard road map style there are:
To see an interactive code sample in both JavaScript and TypeScript that demonstrates how to set your map type to Grayscale, see the Grayscale Map Type sample in the Bing Maps Dev Center.
Provides suggestions as you type a location in a search box.
To see an interactive code sample in both JavaScript and TypeScript that demonstrates how to add the default autosuggest functionality to a textbox, see the Autosuggest UI sample in the Bing Maps Dev Center.
This provides high resolution aerial imagery taken at 45 degrees to the ground from 4 different directions.
To see an interactive code sample in both JavaScript and TypeScript that demonstrates how to show bird's eye view, see the Birdseye sample in the Bing Maps Dev Center.
This powerful data visualization combines the power of clustering with the richness of heat maps.
To see an interactive code sample in both JavaScript and TypeScript that demonstrates how to render data bins with a gradient color that scales with pushpin density, see the Binning with gradient color scale sample in the Bing Maps Dev Center.
Visualize large sets of pushpins, by having overlapping pushpins group together as clusters and break apart as you zoom in automatically.
To see an interactive code sample in both JavaScript and TypeScript that demonstrates how to use the Clustering module, see the Add clustering layer to map sample in the Bing Maps Dev Center.
Bing Maps has excellent localization support for 79 languages.
For more information, see the Setting Map Control Parameters documentation.
Want to draw a pushpin, polygon, or some other shape on the map? The drawing tools module lets you do this easily. This can be used in many different types of scenarios such as providing the user the ability to draw a search area or providing tools for managing sales territories.
To see an interactive code sample in both JavaScript and TypeScript that demonstrates how to show drawing manager, see the Show drawing manager sample in the Bing Maps Dev Center.
Customize the look and feel of the road maps inside of your application. Change the colors of the roads and land, hide certain types of labels. Create a style that aligns with your applications UI, company branding or change it just for fun.
