Bing Maps launches ability to embed Twitter maps on your site – #sxsw example

  • Article

Bing Maps has a series of map app or overlays you can add on to any map – personally I think it’s one of the best but most well hidden features of Bing Maps. One of my favourite map apps is Twitter which overlays geotagged tweets on to the map.

The Bing boys and girls have just added the ability to embed these maps on your website. A killer feature and just in time for MIX10 and SXSW. An example above for the latter.

These maps are incredibly easy to create and are live on your site. Simply head to https://www.bing.com/maps/explore/ and click on maps app on the bottom left of the screen. Select Twitter Maps and then put in your search for either a place or hashtag and then click the link to embed in your site.

Nice work team.
