Is it possible show just tiles?

Question

Hi all,

I'm doing a little development with Bing Maps in a WPF app. I've the maps and my owm tiles and I'd like just show the tiles, no the maps from Bing. My idea is use the "GPS references" that bing maps provides to show my tiles placed in the "world", I mean, using the GPS coordinates that Bing Maps SDK give me. I don't if I've explained my problem well... I guess that you understand me, guys!

Thank you in advance!! Cheers !!

Hi Manu,

The documentation for accessing the Bing Maps tiles from outside the control are available here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/directly-accessing-the-bing-maps-tiles

hare still map and map imagery tiles and will still need attribution as outlined in the Terms of Use here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/product/terms

Yes, you can have the WPF map control load just your tile set and not any basemap tiles. Set the MapMode to MercatorMode and load your own tile layer. Note that your tiles will assume the WebMercator projection when converting tile coordinates to latitude/longitude values, so you'll need to take that into account when generating tiles for your own fake world data.
