It’s not helped by the fact that there is a lot of misinformation on the net on the subject. I hope that this post goes someway to helping explain the confusion, and not adding to it… Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:00:22 GMT http://alastaira.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/the-google-maps-bing-maps-spherical-mercator-projection/ 2012-02-06T16:00:22Z http://www.sharpgis.net/post/2009/02/06/Why-EPSG4326-is-usually-the-wrong-e2809cprojectione2809d.aspx …or why spherical coordinate systems are not flat! One of the most common ways the round world is displayed on a map is using the simplest projection we have: x = longitude, y = latitude. The name of this projection is “Plate Carree”, and is widely used because it is so simple. However we often seem to forget that we are talking about a projection. Therefore the spatial reference for this projection is very often (mis)referenced as a spherical coordinate system.

To make this interaction as fast and responsive as possible, we chose to pre-render the map at many different levels of detail, and to cut each map into tiles for quick retrieval and display. This document describes the projection, coordinate systems, and addressing scheme of the map tiles, which collectively are called the Bing Maps Tile System.

The data provider has a problem with serializing and deserializing the SQL UDT's. If you ever tried to use these data types in a Linq to SQL (or Entity Framework) project then you certainly encountered the following error: “One or more selected items contain a data type that is not supported by the designer”.
