Hello,Recently Microsoft introduce de new design of the road layer for Bingmap.
Previously, just by adding this line in the code behind, the style was adapted:
Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.Core.
MapConfiguration.Load(new System.Uri("http://dev.virtualearth.net/silverlight/mapcontrol/v1/v1.1_MapControl.xml"));
But, with your control, how can I reproduce this?
Hi Milana,
The option you suggested does not work for me.
The only options I've got are
Road/Aerial/AerialWithLabels/Birdseye/Birdseyewithlabels
I've updated my service reference, which points to :

Hi Roel,
As per this article, it seems that the date has officially been changed to July, 6th. Until then, in order to use the new road style, you could implement the approach I described in my previous forum post in this thread.
Feel free to post back should you have any further questions.
Best regards,Milana Zhileva
It's already June, and Microsoft did not change it's default style yet. Any idea how we could achieve the new layout?
Thanks!
Hi, loicbar,
To replace the old road style with the new one, you could use the following approach:1) Update the Bing Maps service reference in your project by right-clicking it and chosing Update Service Reference.2) Change the MapStyle of your ImageryMetadataRequest instance to Road_v1.
Please, keep in mind that the Bing Maps Teem officially stated in their blog, that beginning on May 1, the new style will become the default and only road style, so possibly a further change in the name of the style might follow. More information on MapStyle Enumeration is available here.
Hope that helps,Milana Zhileva
