  Multimap Forum Moving to Bing Community

  Tuesday, July 27, 2010 5:40 PM

  For those of you who haven't noticed, we're moving the Multimap Developer Forums over to Bing Community. This is in an effort to consolidate all Bing Developer projects into one place for all guidance, help, information, blogs, etc. For now, the threads that are here on MSDN will remain on MSDN - we'll move them over soon. For new threads on Bing Maps, please begin posting them to Bing Community. In addition to moving the forums to Bing Community, we've broken the forums up by API so if you're developing for a specific topic - AJAX, Siverlight, etc. - you can select the forum of interest as follows:

  MultiMap API

  Bing Maps Platform – AJAX

  Bing Maps Platform – REST Services

  Bing Maps Platform – Silverlight

  Bing Maps Platform – SOAP Services

  General Questions

  Bing Map App Development

   

  On behalf of the Bing Maps Team, we look forward to seeing your conversations moved over to Bing Community and thanks for using Bing!

  Important news about the Multimap Open API - NOV 2010

  John-Sheridan Wednesday, November 24, 2010 4:48 PM

  NOTE: This was originally posted on the Multimap Blog - http://blog.multimap.com/2010/11/19/important-news-about-the-multimap-open-api/

  The first post on this blog was the announcement of the Multimap Open API .
  
  In the 3½ years that have passed, the Open API has attracted a passionate group of developers building some great apps, especially based around our Ordnance Survey and Collins Bartholomew maps.
  
  It is therefore fitting that one of the last posts on this blog also concerns important news about the Multimap Open API.

  You may have seen earlier that we announced we are about to complete the movement of users from Multimap.com to Bing Maps . A number of you have asked on the forum whether this affects the Open API. We now have the last bits in place to provide you with a full reply.

  To better serve you and all of our customers, our future investments will now focus solely on Bing Maps APIs and on closing any major feature gaps between Bing and Multimap. This will enable us to accelerate delivering you more mapping and location-based services innovation through one platform, across web and mobile.

  Therefore, the Multimap Open API service will be discontinued on November 18th, 2011.

  To prepare for this change, we will soon discontinue the registration of new Open API keys. Existing keys will continue to operate until the switch off.

  We understand that this will be disappointing news for Open API developers, but there is a silver lining to this particular cloud…

  Our colleagues at Bing Maps have just released a major update to the Bing Maps AJAX control . In addition to major improvements in performance, mobile support and imagery, the Bing Maps AJAX map control now includes support for Ordnance Survey and Collins Bartholomew maps .

  Our commitment: We’re here to help . We have developed migration guides for both the AJAX map control and the REST web services to help get started with your planning process. The Bing Maps Developer Resources site , Bing Maps on MSDN , the Bing Community forums and the Bing Maps blog are also great resources.

  
  From everyone at Multimap, thank you to all Open API developers for your support over the past 3½ years, and we hope to see you build some great new apps on Bing Maps.
