Since Bing Maps last update I can't find OpenStreetMaps layer. Is OSM unsupported by Microsoft in Bing Maps for now?
This is possible - here is a blog post that provides some of the details:
http://alastaira.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/displaying-open-street-map-and-esri-tiles-on-bing-maps-ajax-v7/
The quick pointer is to create a custom tile source representing OpenStreetMaps and add it as a tile layer into the map.
Hope that helps!

I am trying to add a WMS service to Google Earth Web/Online: https://earth.google.com/web
I tried importing a .kml file that works in the desktop version of GE but had no success. I also tried adding a tile overlay, which failed as well. I could not find any recommendations for working with WMS services in the google faq/ help docs or on the web. Has anyone been successful with this?
The WMS I would like to add: http://www.geoportal.rlp.de/mapbender/php/wms.php?layer_id=61675&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&withChilds=1
WMS overlays currently work in Google Earth Pro, but they do not work in Earth v9.x (web & mobile apps) at this time.
But in Earth for web, you should be able to add a Tile Layer that loads a set of Google Map Tiles (the same tile format as you would use with the Google Maps Platform / Maps API). You need the URL for the tile layer, with the appropriate $[x], $[y] and $[level] variables (note "level" instead of "z"). You'll also want to add the N/S/E/W tile extent coordinates. And I believe it only supports 256x256 tiles at this time. Let us know how you're trying to add a tile layer, and we can try to debug that.
Does anyone have any example code of using Bing maps as the provider with React-Leaflet? I looked through the docs but it only use openstreetmap. I don't see an example of adding any provider.
I solved my own problem kinda. I could not use React-Leaflet or at least not version 3 so I did it with React, Leaflet, and leaflet-bing-layer. For my needs I also needed to make an api call to render ferry pins. Rather than type it all in here I will include a link to a gist.
I Used google Maps in Flutter and it works out of box for us. I am able to do with the help of documentation like how to use google maps in Flutter But i want to Use Bing Maps in Flutter and all properties like current loc. ,Drawing polylines,custom marker,popUp on marker. Can someone suggest me where to learn thiese things or any other suggestions??
I'm not aware of any Bing Maps map control for Flutter. One option might be to use the open source Flutter map control: https://github.com/fleaflet/flutter_map
Details on how to directly access Bing Maps tiles can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/directly-accessing-the-bing-maps-tiles
The open source Flutter Map control has an example that uses Azure Maps as well, which is another Microsoft mapping platform to consider.
I try to build a map for my stormchasing community. It is very important to see urban areas on the map. I tried to add a landuse=residential layer/filter but it seems Mapbox does not support this at all.
Any ideas or solutions on this?
You are correct that the Mapbox Streets v8 tileset does not contain a landuse=residential field. However, this type of data is available in OSM as shown here and can be downloaded using Overpass Turbo - you can refer to the "Add OpenStreetMap data to your Mapbox project" tutorial for steps on how to do that.
Once you've downloaded this data, you can upload it to your Mapbox account, add it as a new layer to your map, and style it accordingly.
how to download cloudmade map tiles? i have to download tiles with different zoom levels? how save these tiles to database for later loading? any sample code available? any help is appreciated..
There are different options available to you.
First, you can use the Javascript "Web Maps API". This is useful if you are wanting to show the maps on a website. It will download the required tiles and display them appropriately, and give you the interface to pan and zoom the map. See their pages at http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/show/web-maps-api
Second option is if you want to access the map tiles directly. They call it their HTTP Maps API. You will need to make the calcuations of which tiles to download, how to arrange them etc for your own application. Have a look at http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/show/tiles
Finally, although you don't mention it in your question, I see the question is tagged with "iphone" and other related things. Perhaps you want to look at their iPhone SDK, which is similar to the Web Maps API. See http://www.developers.cloudmade.com/wiki/iphone-sdk/Examples for examples on how to use it.
