Bing Maps stay blank

FrédéricHUMBERT-DROZ — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 16:59:39 GMT

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to use the Bing map layer, but until now I've not been able to make it work. I went on the Bing map url called "Getting Started with Bing API" and created my app id. Then I initialize the AGSBingMapLayer object like that:

AGSBingMapLayer *bingMap = [[AGSBingMapLayer alloc]
  initWithAppID:@"3XXXX0929075CXXXD042FXXX2608B6E7D673XXXX"
  style:kAGSBingMapLayerStyleRoad];

[self.mapView addMapLayer:bingMap withName:@"Bing"];

[bingMap release];

Unfortunately it doesn't work. It seems I missed something, but What ?

Best regards,

Fred

I had the same issue with the last release of the API. I'm getting around to trying it again.

Here is the code to add bing map...

AGSLayer *roadLayer = [[AGSBingMapLayer alloc] initWithAppID:@"*****" style:kAGSBingMapLayerStyleRoad];
[self.mapView addMapLayer:roadLayer withName:@"Road Bing Maps Layer"];
[roadLayer release];

Hi Nimesh,

Even with this code, the bing layer stays blank... don't know what I do wrong..

Here is the code to add bing map...

AGSLayer *roadLayer = [[AGSBingMapLayer alloc] initWithAppID:@"*****" style:kAGSBingMapLayerStyleRoad];
[self.mapView addMapLayer:roadLayer withName:@"Road Bing Maps Layer"];
[roadLayer release];

Hi Fred,

Is there any other base layer in the map view? If yes, it's spatial reference other than bing maps (Web Mercator)?

Try loading only bing map in the map view and see if it show up.

Hi Nimesh,

I tried to create a new project without any other layer and it's the same, the map stays blank without loading the bing tiles. Maybe I do something wrong when creating the appId ?!?

Fred

That may be the only reason left for not displaying map. However, if you load only dynamic or tiled layer instead of bing map in the same app then it works?

I am getting sick of these "samples" wasting my time. I don't know why, but copy and paste ESRIs code into C# Silverlight project and get a blank page. Damn!

Yes, it happens only with Bing maps... Other sources are drawn correctly

Hi

Did you ever get it to work?

I'm getting the same blankness when trying to use Bing.

Hi, Dear All,

I finally managed to make it work!!!! In fact the code was correct but the key was wrong. Of course they were no warnings, log or errors.... You have two ways to create an appId:

1. The first one is using the Bing developer center (http://www.bing.com/developers) that's what I did first. What happened is that I visited this website because I found the link in the header file named AGSBingMapLayer.h

/** An AppID which has been authorized to use Bing Maps
 @since 1.0
 @see <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b80e6336-6a33-4555-b26a-ba834c8d756c"> Getting Started with Bing API </a>
 */
@property (nonatomic, copy, readonly) NSString *appID;

2. But, if you want to make it work, you have to create the AppId on the "Bing Maps Account Center" website (http://www.bingmapsportal.com). On this other website, you can also create an appId and this one will be working...

I don't know if I'm the only one who's done this mistake, but it wasn't really clear for me where I had to go to have a valid ID... :confused:

Best regards,

Fred

I tried to create key with ArcGIs server manager ( version 10) and Map Account center.

Neither of them works, I never got the Bing Map displayed.
