after sucessfully uploading my data with "Bing Maps Customer Service" I hope there is a way to display this custom Points-Of-Interest in a static image rendered with MapPoint RenderService. I tried to create a image with the DataSourceName listed in the table "Data sources in staging" (yes, I use staging also in my soap-request). Following (expected) error occurred: "The specified DataSource object either does not exist, does not support the specified map style, or you are not authorized to use it. Argument: specification.DataSourceName". Okay - and now? :) Is it designed to work as described? Or iss the "Customer Data Source" only to provide a "FindNearBy"-search und put the result by hand in a Pushpin-Object for rendering in a static image? Hope there is a easier way.
When you are rendering your image using MWS, make sure to pass your pushpins to the MapSpecification object that is sent to the RenderServiceSoap and you'll get the default stock icon. Please see below:
