Bing Maps v7 Dynamic Tile Layer Source URI

Question

I've got a bing maps v7 app, and I'm making use of a tile layer to show traffic data.

Is there a way to provide a callback instead of a static string for the tile URL?

I need to modify the URL more than just the quadkey, and pass in different parameters based on the current zoom level and time of day.

Answer 1

Looks like there is an undocumented solution.

instead of passing a string for the URL, you can pass in a callback method that takes a tileId as an object.

That tileId object has x,y, and levelOfDetail, which can be used to reconstruct a quadkey, or get the lat/lng depending on your API needs.

Standard boilerplate warnings apply :)
