If you’re really looking to jumpstart your Bing Maps development you’re going to want to check out the new Bing Maps Interactive SDK and Samples. The toolkit provides sample code for common scenarios such as pushpins on the Bing Maps web Control and creating a store locator.

A common scenario for Web developers is to provide location based information rendered on an interactive map. For example, showing the location of an office or a store location. The Bing Maps SDKs including the Bing Maps Controls enables developers to incorporate both location and enhanced mapping features into their Web applications.

While creating location-integrated Web applications, developers often want the ability to customize the experience based on Web site branding to make push pins and other map features fit the look and feel of the Web site. Thiese Web Application samples provide reusable assets that tie together location based data and Bing Maps.
