This resource provides detailed comparisons between the JavaScript API of these two versions of Bing Maps as well as comparative code samples, migration suggestions and best practices for migrating your code to the newest version of Bing Maps. As you read this document you should gain an understanding of the benefits of Bing Maps v8 and how to leverage it in your existing mapping applications. 1.2 But I’m not using v6.3, I’m using v5 or 6.x It is possible that your application appears to be pointing to older versions of Bing Maps (i.e. v6.2 or v5), however these versions are actually redirecting to the v6.3 control on the backend and have been doing so for over 6 years. So in reality your application is using v6.3. 1.3 Why Bing Maps v8? The version 6.3 of Bing Maps has been around for over 7 years and hasn’t seen any code updates since the release of Bing Maps v7, 6 years. Version 8 of Bing Maps was just recently released and offers numerous advantages over both v6.3 and v7, including: Faster and more fluid map control A cleaner, more modern, programming model Increased culture support World Wrap support Improved Routing Capabilities Traffic data available in outside of the US Ability to optimize transactions using map sessions Mobile browser support Many new features 1.4 Service Comparison The Bing Maps v8 web control is the recommended migration path from v6.3. There is a small learning curve as there has been some notable improvements made in the code syntax from v6.3 to v8. Faster and more fluid map control When it comes to performance the v8 is miles ahead of v6.3. Version 8 is capable of rendering data much faster than versions 6.3 and 7, and can also render a lot more data too. When dealing with small data sets on a standard browser this might not be that noticeable but if you need to display a large data set or are using a mobile browser this increased performance makes a big difference. Noticeable performance issues in v6.3 have generally occurred when 200 or more pushpins have been added to the map, while v8 is capable of rendering thousands of pushpins and polygons with good performance. A cleaner, more modern, programming model. One of the most notable changes in v8 is that the API uses a Microsoft namespace. Doing this significantly reduces code conflicts between 3rd party JavaScript libraries. This also significantly speeds up the map control as there are less global variables for the browser to keep track of. In v6.3 the code Bing Maps V6.3 to V8 Migration Guide was made to be backwards compatible with previous versions of Bing Maps. This was a nice feature but resulted in the map control growing significantly and in some cases multiple functions were created that did the same thing thus making the API much more confusing to use than needed. Version 8 also uses a modular framework. Many features of the map API are needed when the page loads. By modularizing the API additional features can be loaded when need, often sometime after the page has loaded. As a result, the initial JavaScript downloaded which contains the core functionalities needed to load the map and display data on it is significantly smaller than the JavaScript downloaded by v6.3. Increased culture support Version 6.3 supported 22 different culture codes (languages). Version 8 supports significantly more culture codes and uses the Bing Maps REST services to perform geocode and route requests which has support for 117 languages. World Wrap Support In v6.3 of Bing Maps the map consisted of a single map that was disconnected at the edges. In reality we know that the far edges of the map wrap around and attach in real life but we can’t see this in v6.3. This becomes an issue if you want to represent information that crosses that edge. In v6.3 if you try and draw the shortest path between Sydney Australia and Los Angeles, USA it would take you across the full map. In v8 the map wraps around such that we can continually pan left or right just as if you were to spin a globe. In addition to this if you were to repeat the previous task of drawing a shortest path, v8 would draw the line going over the Pacific Ocean which is the shortest most logical route to take. Overall this makes for a much better user experience. Improved routing capabilities In v8 not only can you easily render routes on the map but

    Top 10 Windows 7 desktop gadgets May 28, 2010 By Debra Littlejohn Shinder, MVP Way back in 2008, I wrote an article titled The top 10 Vista Sidebar Gadgets. Now it's 2010 and I'm running Windows 7, and although I still use most of the gadgets I was using back then, I've also discovered a few new ones that deserve mention. Here are my favorites. 1: All CPU Meter The gadget I used to monitor my dual-core computer running Vista wasn't available in a quad-core version, so I switched to All CPU Meter (Figure A). It supports up to eight cores (so I have room to grow). All CPU Meter isn't as complex as some, but the simplicity works in its favor. It monitors your memory usage as well as CPUs, and it packs a lot of information into a small space. I also like that you can change the Figure A background color to match your preferences. 2: Windows Orb Clock During all the time I used Vista and the first year I used Windows 7, my analog clock gadget of choice was the electric blue version of the one that comes with the operating system. But now I've switched to a much cooler model: the Vista Orb Clock (Figure B). Of course, the same orb is also on the Windows 7 Start menu. I love its clean look and the nice symmetry of having it just across from my Start Menu orb (since I have my Taskbar set to the vertical position.

Almost everyone in the world uses mapping information, whether or not one realizes it. Almost every mobile phone now has location services and every event and object on the earth has a location. The use of this geospatial location data has expanded rapidly, thanks to the development of the Internet. Huge volumes of geospatial data are available and daily being captured online, and are used in web applications and maps for viewing, analysis, modeling and simulation. This paper reviews the developments of web mapping from the first static online map images to the current highly interactive, multi-sourced web mapping services that have been increasingly moved to cloud computing platforms. The whole environment of web mapping captures the integration and interaction between three components found online, namely, geospatial information, people and functionality. In this paper, the trends and interactions among these components are identified and reviewed in relation to the technology developments.

  • The Thin Lines Between Data Analysis and Surveillance: Reflections on a Research History
    The Thin Lines between Data Analysis and Surveillance: Reflections on a Research History Abstract Danyel Fisher Where are the lines between ‘big data analytics’ and Microsoft Research ‘surveillance’? As a researcher in the former—and an 1 Microsoft Way outspoken sceptic of the latter—I review my own Redmond, Washington USA research to examine how my own attempts to manage [email protected] privacy in collecting and visualizing data have worked out. Interestingly, perhaps distressingly, it seems that even when projects are designed around viewing and displaying privacy-enhanced aggregates, it is easier to discuss them in terms of individual behavior and single subjects: a path that can lead distressingly toward accidentally building surveillance systems. Author Keywords Big data; data visualization; data analysis; social networks Prepared for the CHI 2014 Workshop: “Critical Making Hackathon.” Copyright 2014, Microsoft Research. Introduction Where does data analytics end, and surveillance begin? My research has often used large-scale data analysis to examine online behavior, and used user traces to understand the ways that users interact with systems and each other. But with a recent interest in mass scale data collection—from commercial organizations looking to analyze user behavior for optimal ad-selling, or from government agencies looking to stop terrorism—has begun to blur the lines between data analysis and The viewer of the system should not see any surveillance. information that a subject has not explicitly published. Without attempting to formally define terms, The system should lead the viewer toward Projects ‘surveillance’ connotes using data to look specifically at conclusions about group behavior, not individual users; ‘data analysis’ usually connotes individual behavior.
