Microsoft updated bing.

They implement a new navigation:
- new layout (like the layout of the silerlight bing maps)
- the BEV is now under "aerial" like the "see labels checkbox"

- the small map which was down to the right is now in the top right.

- the "share your map" function is now placed next to some other function on the left site in the menue.

- the new URL's are shorter than the old. And the coordinates are more exactly.

But now the links of submitted maps doesn't work!

neotrix,

I couldn't find any existing submissions whose links were broken with Bing. Can you point me to an example?

nic,

neotrix left this map as an example of how the new Bing formatting displays before changing the "sty" at the end of the string to "style"
