Question

Can someone show me how to custom the pin for Bing maps, version 7.0 please? I’m experimenting with upgrading from version 6 which has a custom icon but I cant find anywhere that shows how to do this with version 7. I have the following code so far.

Many thanks,

var map = null; 
var pinInfobox = null;

function GetMap()
{
    map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(document.getElementById("myMap"), {
    credentials: "xxx",
    height: 236,
    width: 269,
    enableClickableLogo: false,
    enableSearchLogo: false,
    mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.road,
    showDashboard: false});


    var loc = new Microsoft.Maps.Location(47.592, -122.332);
    var pin = new Microsoft.Maps.Pushpin(loc);
    map.entities.push(pin);
    map.setView({ center: loc, zoom: 6 });
}

check out the reference documentation which has an “icon” option to set a custom icon
