Activate geocoding in Bing Maps

To use the geocoding plugin, your company must set up its own account, login, and application key with Bing Maps.

Procedure

  1. Go to http://www.bingmapsportal.com, where you can set up a Bing Maps account and obtain an application key.

    When you create a key, the application name is arbitrary, and no application URL is required.

  2. Register the geocoding plugin class that implements GeocodePlugin plugin interface.

    In the base configuration, this plugin implementation class is gw.plugin.geocode.impl.BingMapsPluginRest.

    Note: By default, the GeocodePlugin plugin interface uses the Microsoft Bing Maps web service and is disabled.
