Login to http://www.bing.com/maps
Click on My Places
Create New List
Under that one I have marked place i want
Click on share button
Copy embed in a web page code and paste it on my page.
But I can't see place I marked, can someone please tell me what is the wrong thing I did?
thank you
You can't embed My Place's maps into a website. The My Places functionality is only available on the Bing Maps consumer site.
If you want to include a map on your website with data on it you have to use the Bing Maps development API's. Here are some resources to get you started:
Bing Maps V7 documentation
Bing Maps V7 Interactive SDK

I understood that, in order to visualize an attraction or a commercial venue in Google Maps you use Maps JavaScript API. However this would be for maps that would be displayed on websites or mobile devices only?
How would it be possible to map and localize a feature in Google Maps, as these are accessed from Google website? I mean, is it possible to map and visualize something that would be accessible and visible to anyone opening Google Maps? A special request should be made to Google?
Thanks a lot
Our website is trying to integrate with both Google Maps and What3words. I need to build an UI display a map with.
A marker on the map, and a search box.
When dragging marker, can retrieve the corresponding 3 words based on its geo coordinate.
When typing into the searchbox, can retrieve the three word based on auto complete result from Google.
Actually it should look like below picture.
What I have archived so far is getting the source code from What3words-map-marker that support What3words API v1 already. But now all the API from What3words has migrated to API v2.
May I check If there are any release from What3words that support wrapper it with Google Maps and API v2?
I'm not sure I follow your question exactly but my company also has just recently implemented something might be the same with your requirement.
Please check this Github page for more detail. Image as below.
I am developing a web page which uses the Google Earth plugin. I would like to display the map like in the first image with the "Earth" and "Satellite/Map" view options like you can in Google Maps, or at least be able to just show the map in "Satellite/Map" view:
Currently this is what the view looks like:
Is this possible?
Yes, you can use the Google Maps V3 to switch between Google Maps and the Google Earth Plug-in.
The google-maps-utility-library-v3 can be used to make this easier.
You can see a working example here.
Alternatively you can simulate a reasonable map view buy just turning of the terrain and photo imagery and turning on the borders and roads layers in the Earth Plug-in. If you then lock this view to 'plan' it works well.
I'm using Google Earth API for Google Maps v3 to display kml files in a window which can then be switched between Maps and Earth browsers. This is a different plugin to that officially provided by Google, and I've run into a problem dynamically switching kml in the Earth window. I use checkboxes to switch them in the Maps API V3, window, but when the browser is switched to Earth it no longer listens to the checkbox actions. Essentially what I'm trying to do is a replication of the interactive checkbox example on the google code playground, but I think I should be using the Maps V3 scripts?
I've included a link to the example script here:

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have errors in your code. For example, the line
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'tilesloaded', addOverlays);
references the non-existent function addOverlays
Also, I'm not sure what you mean...
"This is a different plugin to that officially provided by Google"
...as it is the exact same plugin.
You also state that...
"...it no longer listens to the checkbox actions."
It is the browser listens for the actions, not the Earth plug-in. The checkboxs event are still firing, the reason the code doesn't work is that the "Google Earth Api" (the api for controlling the plugin) uses totally different objects and methods to the Google Maps Api (the api for controlling the map). Things like google.maps.KmlLayer just don't exist in the Earth Api at all. So when the checkbox event fires it causes and error because you are calling methods on objects that don't exist.
From looking at your code, after initialising the Earth plugin via
googleEarth = new GoogleEarth(map);
You don't do anything else with it...You mention in your question the interactive checkbox example on the Google code playground, but as far as I can see you haven't actually implemented any of the code from that example.
Take another look at the function loadKml method in that example - it clearly shows how to load and display data in the Earth plugin.

Easy way here does all the work for you.
Embedding a map into a website or blog
You can embed a simple map, a set of
driving directions, a local search, or
maps created by other users. Here's
how:
Ensure that the map you'd like to embed appears in the current map
display.
Click Link to this page in the top-right corner of the map.
In the box that pops up, copy the HTML under 'Paste HTML to embed in
website,' and paste it into the source
code of your website or blog.
If you'd like to adjust the size of the map before you embed it, just click
Customize and preview embedded map, select your preferred size, and take a
look at the preview map. Once you're happy with what you see, copy the HTML
that appears in the box at the bottom of the window.
Keep in mind that you won't be able to embed Traffic maps, Mapplets, and some
other Maps features.
Google Map API is just javascript. Which can be used in any web technology

If your beginning, maybe you should try to learn web development first. Javascript, post/get mechanics, HTML/CSS validation. Tackling Google Maps integration right at the beginning of your learning process might slow down your project evolution. It's my opinion.
