The Bing Education Team on Reddit says that their developers worked really hard on it!
The map should show up on all desktop browsers and m.bing.com on iOS and Android in any English-speaking market. Windows Phone users please excuse!
They are also going to ship this feature and our other educational features to more countries soon.
