Adding Maps Using the Maps Helper

Web Pages 2 includes additions to the ASP.NET Web Helpers Library, which is a package of add-ins for a Web Pages site. One of these is a mapping component provided by the Microsoft.Web.Helpers.Maps class. You can use the Maps class to generate maps based either on an address or on a set of longitude and latitude coordinates. The Maps class lets you call directly into popular map engines including Bing, Google, MapQuest, and Yahoo.

To use the new Maps class in your website, you must first install the version 2 of the Web Helpers Library. To do this, go to the instructions for installing the currently released version of the ASP.NET Web Helpers Library and install version 2.
