Bing Maps

This adapter accesses Bing Maps via its web service interface in version 1 and retrieves the geographical information for an address. In addition, a route including waypoints can be calculated and a URL to the corresponding Bing Maps map section can be generated. The adapter outputs its results as XML or JSON document.

In order to use the Bing Maps API a Bing Maps API Key is required.
