New – Bing Maps
Bing Maps is now live! Try it now at http://bing.com/maps. It’s lighter, faster, and includes some long-awaited features.
Some Bing Maps Feature Highlights:
Draggable Routes
This much-anticipated feature allows you to generate a route, then in case that you need to change the route, you can simply grab any part of it and drag it to where you want the route to actually go.
How it works:
· Click the directions link in the welcome pane or the car icon near the bottom of the welcome pane.
· Enter a start and end, generate a route, then grab anywhere on the route to move the route line.
· The route will regenerate for you.
Zoom Bar
No longer just a zoom in and zoom out button, the zoom bar allows you to jump to specific zoom levels within predefined settings.
Command Parsing
Want driving directions? Enter “Bellevue, WA to Space Needle” in the Bing Maps search box.
Embed Map
You can now take a map view right from Bing Maps and embed it into your site.
How it works:
· Click the Share button once your map is where you want it to be.
· You can copy the embed code from there; or, you can click the Customize View link which will take you to the embeddable map customizer (EMC).
· The EMC allows you to set a map to the map height and width (small, medium, large or custom); the map type (static or draggable); the map styles (road, aerial, aerial w/ labels); and, add links to Bing Maps for Viewing a Larger Map or Getting Directions.
· Once you’ve set everything the way you want it, click Generate Code and there’s your code.
· You copy it, then paste it into your web page and you’ll have the map you wanted.
New Navigation

· Welcome loads the welcome pane
· The car loads the route planner
· The star loads My Places, formerly called Collections
· The envelop loads the ability to share the map with someone via email, copying a URI or embedding the map into a web page
