Read Geospatial XML Files from Same Domain

Bing
 

This sample shows how to load a geospatial XML file that is hosted on the same domain as the application using a relative URL into a GeoXmlLayer. This sample will read in a sample GeoRSS file which you can find here and render it on the map.

HTML
Copy 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    var map, layer;
    var xmlUrl = 'SampleGeoRSS.xml';

    function GetMap() {
        map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map('#myMap', {
            credentials: 'Your Bing Maps Key',
            zoom: 1
        });

        //Load the GeoXml module.
        Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.GeoXml', function () {
            //Create an instance of the GeoXmlLayer and pass in the URL to the GeoRSS file that is hosted on the same domain.
            layer = new Microsoft.Maps.GeoXmlLayer(xmlUrl, true);

            //Add the layer to the map.
            map.layers.insert(layer);
        });
    }
    </script>
    <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.bing.com/api/maps/mapcontrol?callback=GetMap' async defer></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="myMap" style="position:relative;width:800px;height:600px;"></div>
</body>
</html>

Running this sample (when you have the sample GeoRSS file) will load a map that looks like this.
