bing-maps

I need to use Bing maps in an app being developed targetting blackberry OS 6.0. But could not find any natively available framework or SDK. Please help me on using either Bing or Google Maps SDK on blackberry. Please provide the references from where I can get the SDK. Thank you. Here is an example of using Google Maps , don't know how to use Bing maps. First, install Google Maps on your device/simulator from http://m.google.com/maps/ by hitting this link on the browser of the device/simulator. Then you can invoke the Google Maps application from your application. Here is a code sample:

Here is the XAML code: <maps:Map x:Name="NearbyMap" Center="{Binding MapCenter, Mode=TwoWay}" ZoomLevel="{Binding ZoomLevel, Mode=TwoWay}" > <maptk:MapExtensions.Children> <maptk:MapItemsControl Name="StoresMapItemsControl" ItemsSource="{Binding Treks}"> <maptk:MapItemsControl.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <maptk:Pushpin x:Name="RouteDirectionsPushPin" GeoCoordinate="{Binding Location}" Visibility="Visible" Content="test"/> </DataTemplate> </maptk:MapItemsControl.ItemTemplate> </maptk:MapItemsControl> <maptk:UserLocationMarker x:Name="UserLocationMarker" Visibility="Visible" GeoCoordinate="

we are planning to use bing maps for Android device. We are not using google maps as we have premium licences for Bing and hence we prefer to use that. But after few days of search I was not able to find any thing substantial about how to use bing maps in android phones. One option I tried was to use WebView and then display the bing maps but it was not as intuitive as what we could get if it was a MapView . So if is possible to get bing maps in the same way as we get the google maps in the MapView with default support for panning and zooming etc. Alastair Aitchison Updates : bing map

I am trying to use a custom tileset for Bing maps. What I am trying to do is similar to the question here , but I'm trying to understand how a URI is formatted so that I can host the tiles within the application. The reason I am trying to host this locally is because I want to limit network traffic out from my application as much as possible. Are there any tutorials on hosting the map tiles locally or a more in depth tutorial on how to have the URI point to a local storage path? Thanks in advance for any advice. The central point in the Bing Maps (or Google Maps or OpenStreetMap) tiled map

I know that is not a technical question, but I don't know where else to ask. Is there a way to get the marked speed limit of a road from google or bing maps? or any other web service? You cannot obtain this information from Bing Maps or Google Maps. Nor am I aware of any other webservices that provide this information (certainly not any free ones). Open Street Map ( http://osm.org ) has the ability for ways to be recorded with the maxspeed tag. You could download the OSM planet dataset and host it in a spatial database such as SQL Server 2012, then create your own web service to query the

I've got coordinates of location in easting/northing format but I need to convert it to proper lat long to center it in bing maps. Any formula or details how to convert easting/northing to lat/lon? EDIT: To be more specific, I need to convert SVY21 coordinates to the to WGS84 Eastings and northings are distances east and north, respectively, of a base point. The base point is usually a latitude and longitude, and eastings and northings are normally expressed in meters or feet. The easting and northing, however, is usually offset a particular value to make them positive and allow them to

is there a way to retrieve a latitude & longitude of the user using Bing Maps API or Google Maps API. I think I saw an code snippet where a "autolocate me" feature was used to mark user on the Map itself: var geoLocationProvider = new Microsoft.Maps.GeoLocationProvider(map); geoLocationProvider.getCurrentPosition(); But that function doesn't return any data, it simply set location on the map, whereas I need that location to perform some calculations, namely calculate which of predefined list of places is the closest to current user location. Apart from that, does any of this API's can
