Q:

Bing map upgrade v7 to v8: What should be used in place of Microsoft. Maps. Overlays. Style (as this is deprecated now)

  Microsoft. Maps.loadModule('Microsoft. Maps. Overlays. Style', {
            callback: _getMap
        });

I have this code where in after loading this particular module I call the _getMap function which loads a map successfully. 
However, in v8 Bing maps have deprecated this module and haven't provided any clear indication of it's replacement.  Can anyone please help me find a replacement for the same? 

A:

The Overlays module in V7 was primarily used for a better navigation bar layout for mobile.  In V8 there are three built in navigation bar options, all are well suited for mobile, so no longer need for a module for this.  Simply remove the module loading code with this:
_getMap();
