For our last Angular application, we are going to go to town and use Bing mapping services to display the types of maps we are used to using on a daily basis to search for locations. We will go even further and use Microsoft's Local Insights services to search for a particular business type in the currently visible map area. This is one of the two applications that excited me the most when I was putting together the plan for this book because I have a love for map-based systems.
As well as displaying maps, we are going to be able to select points of interest on the map by clicking directly on the map. These points will be represented by colored pins. We will save the location of these points, along with their name, in a cloud-based database from Google.
This application should take about an hour to complete, as long as you work alongside the code on GitHub...
