Project Description
The Bing Maps V7 map control is designed to support a modular framework. The purpose of this project is to compile all the community created modules into one location. Modules are a great way to create common reusable code that is easy to integrate into
Bing Maps. By using modules you can save development time and money. Also take a look the list of other useful
Bing Maps Resources.
This project has been a great success with many of these modules being used by millions of people every day. If you have a great idea for a module submit it under the discussion panel.
