Geospatial mapping applications have become hugely popular in recent
years. With smart-phone and tablet numbers snow-balling this trend looks
set to continue well into the future. Indeed, it is true to say that in
today's mobile world location-aware apps are becoming the norm rather
than the exception.
In Microsoft Mapping author Ray Rischpater showcases Microsoft's Bing
Maps API and demonstrates how its integration features make it by far
the strongest mapping candidate for business that are already using
Windows 8 or the .NET Framework. Whether you want to build a new app
from scratch of add a few modest geospatial features to your existing
website Ray's carefully chosen examples will provide you with both the
inspiration and the code you need to achieve your goals.
