How to access Bing Maps

[ChrisMack]

I am using ArcServer 10 and the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.1.

What should I use as the REST endpoint URL for Bing Map data?

Thanks

1) You need your Bing key from arcserver 10

2) In your config.xml file place the following bing tag inside (below) the <configuration> tag

<bing key="YOUR LONG BING KEY GOES HERE"/>

3) In your config.xml add the following layer tags inside your <basemap> tag

<layer label="Bing" type="bing" visible="false" style="road" culture="en-US" />
<layer label="Bing Aerial" type="bing" visible="false" style="aerial" culture="en-US" />
<layer label="Bing Hybrid" type="bing" visible="false" style="aerialWithLabels" culture="en-US" />

that's it!

How do I implement Bing if I am using AGS10.1 to server the SFV1.3 using the 1.3 API?

Am I still going to have to use token?

I did all of the steps below and the Bing map shows up in the web application like it should be there but everything is blank. What am I missing?

1) You need your Bing key from arcserver 10

2) In your config.xml file place the following bing tag inside (below) the <configuration> tag

<bing key="YOUR LONG BING KEY GOES HERE"/>

3) In your config.xml add the following layer tags inside your <basemap> tag

<layer label="Bing" type="bing" visible="false" style="road" culture="en-US" />
<layer label="Bing Aerial" type="bing" visible="false" style="aerial" culture="en-US" />
<layer label="Bing Hybrid" type="bing" visible="false" style="aerialWithLabels" culture="en-US" />

Jessica,
At least one of your basemaps needs to have its visible property set to "true".

I followed the steps above and get the following error message:

---------------------
Bing layer failed to load: Fault code: 401

Fault info: Unauthorized

Fault details: Access was denied. You may have entered your credentials incorrectly, or you might not have access to the requested resource or operation.
-------------------------

I did a cut/paste of the key from manager (arcgisserver 10).   My confix.xml file has
<configuration>
<bing key="CUT/PASTE KEY"/>

as well as the layer tags under the basemaps tag.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?   I'm assuming it's not recognizing the key, but why?   It came straight from arcgisserver as a cut/paste.

EDIT:

Never mind!   I missed:

  <!-- replace the following key with your own Bing key -->

in the config file initially.    Works find now.

Never mind!   No mention was made of the tag:

  <!-- replace the following key with your own Bing key -->

and I missed it when I initially added the key.   

Works find now.

I am having the same problem. A bing layer appears but its not the aerial layer that I want. It looks like the hillshaded layer. I have tried all the different style tags but the layer doesn't change. Its always the same one.

Any ideas?
