Hello, I have just received your email announcing the end of support for “Bing Maps” on June 30, 2025. This service is being replaced by “Azure Maps”. Currently I use the C# object: Windows.U...
COM-ADD Correct, to use the Azure Maps Web SDK in a XAML app you would need to create a web page and load it into a WebView.

If you are developing/updating a UWP app, I have a simple code sample here: https://github.com/rbrundritt/SimpleUwpAzureMaps
I'm also working creating a Maui library wrapper around the Azure Maps Web SDK and hope to have that online in the next month or two.
