BingMapsImageryProvider

new BingMapsImageryProvider(options)

Provides tiled imagery using the Bing Maps Imagery REST API.
Name Type Description
options Object Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
url String The url of the Bing Maps server hosting the imagery.
key String optional The Bing Maps key for your application, which can be created at https://www.bingmapsportal.com/. If this parameter is not provided, BingMapsApi.defaultKey is used. If BingMapsApi.defaultKey is undefined as well, a message is written to the console reminding you that you must create and supply a Bing Maps key as soon as possible. Please do not deploy an application that uses Bing Maps imagery without creating a separate key for your application.
tileProtocol String optional The protocol to use when loading tiles, e.g. 'http:' or 'https:'. By default, tiles are loaded using the same protocol as the page.
mapStyle String BingMapsStyle.AERIAL optional The type of Bing Maps imagery to load.
culture String '' optional The culture to use when requesting Bing Maps imagery. Not all cultures are supported. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh441729.aspx for information on the supported cultures.
tileDiscardPolicy TileDiscardPolicy optional The policy that determines if a tile is invalid and should be discarded. If this value is not specified, a default DiscardMissingTileImagePolicy is used which requests tile 0,0 at the maximum tile level and checks pixels (0,0), (120,140), (130,160), (200,50), and (200,200). If all of these pixels are transparent, the discard check is disabled and no tiles are discarded. If any of them have a non-transparent color, any tile that has the same values in these pixel locations is discarded. The end result of these defaults should be correct tile discarding for a standard Bing Maps server. To ensure that no tiles are discarded, construct and pass a NeverTileDiscardPolicy for this parameter.
proxy Proxy optional A proxy to use for requests. This object is expected to have a getURL function which returns the proxied URL, if needed.
Example:
var bing = new Cesium.BingMapsImageryProvider({
    url : '//dev.virtualearth.net',
    key : 'get-yours-at-https://www.bingmapsportal.com/',
    mapStyle : Cesium.BingMapsStyle.AERIAL
});
