plonk | Pure Rust implementation of the PLONK ZKProof System

Bing is comprehensive and it isn't Google. Also I was given to understand that Bing maps integrates OpenStreetMaps data. An answer for OpenStreetMaps would also be acceptable; it's the capability that matters: construct a URL that causes a browser to show a path on a map.

I don't want to embed Bing maps as a control in a web application. I want to construct an HTTP request (GET or POST) to launch Bing maps in its own right in another tab or browser supplying a small series of points (probably GPX format) to be shown as a route on the map.

It's the structure of the URL (and payload if applicable) that interest me. If you want to put code in an answer Javascript, Typescript or server side C# are all no problem.

When I research this I find loads of info on using an API to request a route between two points. This would be fabulous if I were trying to create yet another nav app but the requirement here is simply show this series of points as a path on a map.

I can do it for a single point (sample lifted from another question's answer) https://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=53.0210235~-1.48398532&lvl=16&dir=0&sty=c&sp=point.53.0210235_-1.48398532_My%20Phone

The Microsoft APIs documented here all require a registration and key because they're intended for Enterprise applications that support embedded maps in branded apps with the enterprise paying for use.

My application is FOSS and is intended for a private individual to plonk half a dozen points on a map in the course of trying to figure out where a phone was lost without consenting to being tracked by Google or a phone manufacturer.

The example above launches Bing maps and passes a point. Is there some kind of URL based way to get Bing maps to launch in its own right - not hosted in another app - and show a series of points for display as a path? If so, what search terms should be used when looking for details? The answer from which I lifted the sample has a link but it no longer produces the docs.

Assume we have inserted the following object.

I'm having a problem with mapping components. Frankly, I'm not experienced enough with React to code like a God. I'll walk you through my problem in increments so you guys fully understand what's happening.

Annex 1.1 This is my child component, as you can see, I am using React useState and useEffect hooks to update my state when I pull an array from an API. No big deal, no problem here, just regular stuff.

I have a Google Maps API Key and it is in both my debug and release google_maps_api.xml files.

The app and map within it work when debugging on a simulator or device. However, when I Generate a signed APK and install it onto a real device, the map is empty, as if there is no Google maps API key specified.

I have tried using the answers on here but non seem to work, at least as far as my experience with Google Play, Android studio, and release builds is allow.

I have gone into Google Play Console and Let Google handle my certificates (or something like that). I now have a list containing MD5 certificate fingerprint SHA-1 certificate fingerprint SHA-256 certificate fingerprint and a button titled [DOWNLOAD CERTIFICATE] (app signing certificate) but have no idea what to do with those... if Im supposed to do anything with them at this point.

What do I do next to get the map to show up on the release signed APK file? Should I plonk the app signing cert somewhere in my project?

My intent is not to release, yet. I just want to test out a release build for performance differences etc.

UPDATE 1 i have followed the following and now have my Certificate Fingerprint, but where do I place it, if at all?
