Microsoft Corporation | Redmond, WA


Today, via the Microsoft Bing Community, the company announced a new Bing Maps iOS SDK . This new SDK gives developers a set of Objective C classes to develop iPhone and iPad applications within Xcode, along with documentation and several sample projects to help them get started.
 

From the blog... The iOS map control supports Bing’s road, aerial and hybrid aerial map styles, and includes the ability to add pushpins to the maps and access the user’s location via the GPS to locate the phone on the map.


The Bing Maps iOS Control is an Objective-C control for embedding maps directly into native iOS apps. With a rich, gesture-based UI provided by Seadragon, the Bing Maps iOS Control provides support for adding pushpins and other overlays to the map, allows your device location to be displayed, and provides the ability to retrieve contextual information for a given map location.

System Requirements

  • Supported Operating Systems:Apple Mac OS X
  • Mac OS X Snow Leopard, version 10.6.4 or later on a Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 processor.
  • Xcode version 4.0 or later
  • The latest version of the iOS SDK. (This SDK is available from http://developer.apple.com. An Apple Developer account is required.)
