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.

By default, the clustering layer uses the default pushpin and sets the text option to the number of pushpins that are in the cluster. Customizing the clustered pushpins can be done by passing a callback function into the clusteredPinCallback option of the cluster layer. This callback will receive a reference to a ClusterPushpin object which is special pushpin that has a couple of extra properties on it. You can customize the ClusterPushpin the same way you would a standard pushpin, using the setOptions function. For example:

var clusterLayer = new Microsoft.Maps.ClusterLayer(pins, {
    clusteredPinCallback: function (cluster) {
        //Customize clustered pushpin.
        cluster.setOptions({
            icon: '[custom pushpin info]'
        });
    }
});

There are many different ways to customize a pushpin in Bing Maps such as using a URL to an image or SVG file, using inline SVG or a Base64 image string. Documentation on how to create these different types of custom pushpins here.

In this code example, instead of simply using a custom image to represent a clustered pushpin, we will see how to dynamically create an inline SVG icon based on the number of pushpins that are in the cluster. Clusters will be represented using a circle. The more pushpins in the cluster the larger the circle will become, using a logarithmic scale. Since the size of the circles will grow, we will increase the grid size used by the clustering layer to accommodate this. Additionally, if a cluster has less than 10 pushpins, the circle will be green, less than 100 pushpins, yellow, more than 100, red.

Running this code in a browser will cluster 3,000 random pushpins and display them as scaled and colored circles.
