Bird’s Eye map type now in dropdown

Bird’s eye imagery has been available in the Bing Maps V8 Web Control since May, but it could only be displayed programmatically. Now Bird’s eye is available in the map type dropdown just like all of the other map types. This option will be disabled (appear faded) when the map is centered over a location that does not have Bird’s eye imagery.

Limit Autosuggest suggestions to a single country

The Autosuggest manager now lets you specify a country to limit suggestions to using the new countryCode option. This takes in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country region codes. See Autosuggest options for more details.

Enable CORs on tile layers

This new map option enables CORs (Cross Resource Sharing) on the base map tiles, as well as on all tile layers. This allows accessing the pixel data of the map canvas without any browser security issues. Check out this demo that uses this and the map canvas to generate a static image of the map. See map options for more details.

Customize the Drawing toolbar

You can now limit which toolbar options appear in the drawing toolbar. Try it now

GeoXmlLayer Events

The GeoXmlLayer class now supports all of the same events as the Layer class. If you are not familiar with the GeoXmlLayer, it was released as part of the GeoXml module in July and makes it easy to import and export common spatial file formats such as KML, KMZ, GeoRSS, GML (via GeoRSS) and GPX. Try it now | Documentation

Access Direction Pushpins

Access the pushpins of all waypoints rendered by the directions manager using the new getAllPushpins() function. Customize their look and feel or add events to them. See the DirectionsManager class for more details.

Wrong Maps of Oromian Districts in Ethiopia by Bing

I think the best way of reporting this issue is through Bing themselves. You should go to the Bing maps web page at Cartes and hit the "Feedback" link at the bottom of the screen.

A form will appear that will allow you to report a problem in the maps directly to the Bing maps team.
