Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Install the plugin and activate it Go to http://www.bingmapsportal.com and sign up to get a free BingMaps key Go to the BingMaps – Settings page and enter your BingMaps key Create a page on your website to contain the map (or edit an existing one) and add the shortcode to it
Add the shortcode to either a new or existing page on your site.
Some typical shortcodes, where the coordinates are specified, as follows: [bingmaps-map x=51.503146 y=-0.002979] [bingmaps-map posn=51.477841,-0.001548 zoom=14 w=800 h=500 type=ordnanceSurvey] (GB locale only)
Shortcode Attributes can specify that a URL Parameter is to be used for the value, by enclosing the ID of the Parameter in braces. A typical shortcode where coordinates are passed in the URL is as follows: [bingmaps-map posn={myposn} zoom={myzoom} w={mywidth} h={myheight} type={mytype}] The shortcode attributes above specify the ID of the URL parameter that will be used for the map coordinate etc. A typical URL for this shortcode would therefore be as follows: [YourPageURL]?myposn=51.477841,-0.001548&myzoom=14&mytype=ordnanceSurvey
The Shortcode Attributes ‘pin1’, ‘pin2’ etc. specify the position of pushpins. Alternatively the use ‘pin={mypin}’ to specify that the URL Parameters mypin1, mypin2 etc. are to be used for pushpin positions.
All map types supported by the Bing Maps AJAX Control can be displayed. The map types available depends on the locale selected in the BingMaps settings. The Bing Maps help page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg427625.aspx) lists all available map types.
