Bing Maps Web Control SDK retirement

Bing Maps Web Control SDK is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Web Control SDK until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Web Control SDK until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Web Control SDK will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Web SDK by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate from Bing Maps Web Control SDK and Migrate Bing Maps Enterprise applications to Azure Maps with GitHub Copilot.

Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.

One of the simplest ways to query a data source is to do a property based search. This can easily be achieved with the Spatial Data Services module by specifying a data source and a filter.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    var map;

    //Query URL to the PointsOfInterest data source
    var sdsDataSourceUrl = 'http://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/data/Microsoft/PointsOfInterest';

    function GetMap() {
        map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map('#myMap', {
            credentials: 'Your Bing Maps Key',
            zoom: 2
        });

        //Load the Bing Spatial Data Services module.
        Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.SpatialDataService', function () {
            findByPropperty();
        });
    }

    function findByPropperty() {
        //Remove any existing data from the map.
        map.entities.clear();

        //Create a query to get nearby data.
        var queryOptions = {
            queryUrl: sdsDataSourceUrl,
            filter: new Microsoft.Maps.SpatialDataService.Filter('EntityTypeID', 'eq', 5540) //Filter to retrieve Gas Stations.
        };

        //Process the query.
        Microsoft.Maps.SpatialDataService.QueryAPIManager.search(queryOptions, map, function (data) {
            //Add results to the map.
            map.entities.push(data);
        });
    }
    </script>
    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.bing.com/api/maps/mapcontrol?callback=GetMap' async defer></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="myMap" style="position:relative;width:600px;height:400px;"></div>
</body>
</html>

Running this code will search for the first 25 gas stations in the PointsOfInterest data source.
