Bing Maps Web Part Overview
The Modern Bing Maps Web Part provides great functionality for illustrating the geographical location of a building. Whether your are looking to feature a corporate or satellite office, to a location for a particular event, to a meeting location. The web part provides a simple way to visualize where these locations may be.
Powered by the Bing Map engine, users are offered an interactive experience while reading a page or article. Users are allowed to alter the map views, zoom in or out, as well as change the position you are viewing.
By offering different views and perspectives, readers can easily identify a location that you are looking to highlight. By adding a pin and label to the map, you can draw the readers attention to a relevant address.
