Bing Maps AJAX Control v7 Directions module fails randomly -


i have implemented bing maps ajax control v7 in website has 4 predefined walking routes user can choose. chosen route displayed on map via directions module (directionsmanager.calculatedirections()) , textual description show in div container next map.

it works fine, except sometimes directions not returned api , following error returned in error callback:

object {    responsecode: 17,    message: "fußwege sind derzeit nicht verfügba…", // german for: "walking directions not available"   eventname: "directionserror"  } 

the routes given in json simple array of waypoints. because work sometimes, conclude problem have nothing waypoints itself.

note not matter whether directions fetched walking or driving (same error code).

so questions are:

  1. do have live it? if so, best practice handle situation regarding user experience?
  2. if not, cause this?

any appreciated!

i suspect account being rate limited. occurs trial , basic bing maps keys when either account consuming transactions @ rate exceed free terms of use, or when service under lot of load others using bing maps under free terms of use. way limit possibility of being rate limited upgrade enterprise key. if using enterprise key , seeing issue, contact bing maps enterprise support team , investigate.
