Richard Jones at Binary Refinery pinged me about this fun thing to do, a scientific experiment with balloons and maps so I thought I would share some samples that you could use to build your own tracking solution. Head to https://samples.bingmapsportal.com/ to find these samples and more!
|
Continuous Tracking and Routing This sample shows how to use the browsers geolocation API to continuous track a users position and their route to a destination on the map.
|
Geodesic Path with Arrow This sample shows how to generate a geodesic path (path that follows the curvature of the globe) between a start and end location.

Calculate Distance from Route This sample shows how to use the Spatial Math and Directions module to calculate the distance a point is from a route line.
