their existing skills so that they will be able to deploy geospatial

applications for social networking, data collection, enterprise

management, or other purposes.

how the Bing Maps API can be connected to the Azure Cloud in order to

provide a stand-alone mapping bolt-on with little additional up-front

cost and great reliability. Unique

coverage of how the Bing Maps

API can be implanted within Windows and Windows Phone applications for

Windows 10 applications to provide a robust service tailored to the

capabilities of each device.
