This issue is for discussion of the reference tool "Bing Maps embeds and Bing Maps Control API".

I included Bing maps in my initial list in the interest of fairness, as a counterpart against Google. It doesn't look like they have many unique features, but that's kind of the point: these are the standard, expected features of a web map widget.

I'd also thought that it used the same map tile servers as the native Windows Maps app, but I'm no longer certain that's the case. The feature data is probably shared, but the map tiles are different, and may be generated on the client for the app.
