Android Question Bing maps

[mike1209]

Does anyone have any examples of using Bing maps with B4A, I have used WebViewExtras1.LoadHtml with a google maps file and it works fine, however when I try the same with Bing, the map never loads and none of the java scripts fire

Why not use GoogleMaps SDK? It will work better.

Yes I agree, Google maps is probably better, the company I work for want to use bing though as it's used for other apps..also there is an issue with the charges for Google map usage..

Nope. Google Maps mobile SDK is completely free. It is the JavaScript SDK that is a paid service.

Ah right, but don't you still have to register to get and API key, which requires formal ID including card payment details even if they are not going to charge for usage, I had and account with the SDK stuff a while ago which use to work but requires verification details (id/payment details etc..)

No credit card is required.
