Summary

The Bing Maps AJAX Control is a JavaScript library that adds mapping functionality to a web page. In this chapter, we've learned how to load a map on a page, and how easy it is to customize its appearance and functionality. We've looked at the map methods for getting and setting options, zoom, map type, and so on. We've also introduced the map events, and have added handlers to a custom map dashboard. In the next chapter, we will extend these events to draw polygons on the map.
