• Static map service – Includes a REST service, which can be used to retrieve images of maps. This can be useful when generating reports, embedding in emails or in situations where a fully interactive map isn’t needed.
• Autosuggest – Provides suggestions as someone types a location in a search box.
• Forward and reverse geocoding – Locate where an address or place is, or find an address or place that is at a specific location.
• Batch geocoding – The Bing Spatial Data Services provides a service for passing in up to 200,000 rows of data at once to be forward or reverse geocoded. The service will then take this data and process it on the Bing servers and return the data as a single file. This can significantly reduce the time, bandwidth and the number of requests an application would use to geocode large volumes of data.
