The Bing Maps service provides you the capability to plot data geographically on a map. For example, this ASPxPivotGrid shows the quantity of products sold per country:
We can plot this data on to a map because the Bing maps services provides developers with a JavaScript API to display maps, locate countries and businesses and create pushpin indicators!

This type of integration is possible because the ASPxPivotGrid provides a great set of client-side events and functionality. This demo and full source code will be provided in the next major DXperience release, v2010 vol 1.
