Embedding Bing Maps on Websites

You should have noticed by now that the main url (Bing maps) doesn’t contain the options to embed maps directly. With Bing maps, you can share the link of the map with your friends online and cannot add maps on websites.

But, this can be achieved with the help of Microsoft ajax that helps you to embed Bing maps easily with tons of options for customization as well.

So, head over to this webpage and select the location or navigate through the map – Then click on source code which provides html code that you should add to your blog pages or web site pages for the bing map to be visible.

You can also change the default Road map into Aerial map and embed on your website.  Related: Embed Google Maps on WordPress
