Bing Maps stay blank

[FrédéricHUMBERT-DROZ]

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 ?!?

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.
