The Bing Maps Plugin adds an interactive Bing Map to the viewer.
The map can be freely placed and sized anywhere on the screen.
It's possible to place spots on the map and link them to krpano actions like loadpano to load a new panoramas when clicking a spot.
The plugin has an integrated customizable radar which can apear on the activatted spot.
'Google Maps' styled controls, like the position and zoom controls can be added.
