SpotCrime Tweets on Bing Maps



Bing Maps has an app that allows users to view the location of tweets on their interactive map. For SpotCrime users, this means that you can search crime tweets and view the location of the crime and a link to the alert.

To access this service, download the latest version of Searchlight and make sure that it is running in Bing Maps. At the bottom of the screen click Map Apps and select Twitter Maps. Click the search filter and type "SpotCrime" into the keyword field. Your map should look like the picture above.

It's a neat feature. We hope you'll check it out!
