The announcement has been made and I won the title of King of Bing Maps. The Taxi Fare Calculator took first with Ricky’s Data viewer taking third. I made the data viewer on behalf of Infusion Development as a way to push the geospatial toolkit I have been working on in my spare time for the past 8 months. The official announcement was made on Channel 9 here.

I recently created a Taxi Fare Calculator for the Bing Maps App API as an entry into the King of Bing Maps competition. The app was deployed last Friday. Today Chris Pendleton from the Bing team at Microsoft made an announcement about all the entries for the competition. This lead to a bunch of people checking it out and blogging, tweeting and facebooking about my taxi fare calculator.
