What do you like best about Bing Maps API?

I use Bing Maps every single day! I can plan not only my everyday travels but also trips. When planning tips, I can edit and customize them exactly to how I like. I use it for everyday life, specifically for the traffic watch function, which I find is very accurate! I don't have a vehicle consistently, but I find that Bing Maps has a great and precise transit map which is always very helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bing Maps API?

I'll be honest, I find that Bing Maps is very compareable to Google Maps and have not found many issues while using it. Any errors that have occured have been easily fixable and have also happened to me while using Googe Maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bing Maps API solving and how is that benefiting you?

I will always use Bing Maps for planning trips, as the organized layout and ease of use makes planning trips very easy. I always use Bing Maps to check the status of my bus route. I will always use the Traffic function before leaving the house to check on the status of my planned driving route. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
