Not sure if it was planned but if you create your own map from MapCore and
use your own tiles then you don't need an AppID:
public class MyMap : MapCore
{
public MyMap()
{
base.Mode.SetView(new Location(), 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, false);
base.Mode = new MercatorMode();
}
}
Just add your OSM layer:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<local:MyMap x:Name="map">
<local:MyMap.Children>
<MapControl:MapTileLayer>
<MapControl:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
<local:OpenStreetMapTileSource></local:OpenStreetMapTileSource>
</MapControl:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
</MapControl:MapTileLayer>
</local:MyMap.Children>
</local:MyMap>
</Grid>
That you prepared earlier:
public class OpenStreetMapTileSource : TileSource
{
public OpenStreetMapTileSource()
: base("http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{2}/{0}/{1}.png";)
{
}
public override Uri GetUri(int x, int y, int zoomLevel)
{
return new Uri(string.Format(UriFormat, x, y, zoomLevel));
}
}

Craig,
The licensing for Bing Maps is actually very good and flexible here in
Australia. If you're building a user authenticated system then you can
license per user, an assets tracking system license per asset.
The Bing Maps tiles are now hosted here in Australia, I'm getting road tiles
in 60ms. For large system I'd hope the Bing Maps licensing would be
attractive compared with hosting your own OSM tiles with any performance.
The final answer to your question may be answered by the fact the control is
owned by the Bing Maps team, funded by the larger projects paying for the
control, not the Silverlight team.
John.

So my question becomes: what are MS licensing expectations for
* large (>125,000 pa sessions) using OSM data
* password-protected/intranet/internal applications using OSM data
I understand the work they have put into the control - but given its support
for custom tile layers the licensing seems a bit unclear in that case? Is
there any concept of using/licensing the control seperately from the Bing
Maps "product"?

Yeah - that's fine if you are using Bing Maps data... but are they now
implying that if you use the silverlight _control_ as a host for OSM map
tiles (for example) you still need a key?
How do 'session counts' etc apply if you are using the SL control with open
source data? Does MS expect 'payment' for these uses of the control?
Curious...

Subject: New release of the Silverlight Bing Maps control
For anyone who hasn't seen the announcement yet today, they have released a
new version of the silverlight bing maps control
http://www.microsoft.com/maps/
Changes to the SDK can be seen here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681889.aspx
the interesting one for me, is the inclusion of the "MapItemsControl" class,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.maps.mapcontrol.mapitemsco
ntrol.aspx
It allows for databinding to a map layer now, meaning I can get rid of the
custom stuff on my blog :-)
