Base map layer for Here XYZ Studio - here-maps-rest

We would like to use a Here map style to create a base map layer in Studio XYZ and the Studio playground.
All of the examples and documentation we have found use mapcreator.tilehub.api.here.com/tilehub/wv_livemap_bc/png/sat/256/ to display a Satellite map layer.
We would like to use the map styles available when calling http://image.maps.api.here.com/mia/1.6/ for example Road, NormalDay, Hybrid, etc. Is this possible?

Replace the 'sat' in mapcreator.tilehub.api.here.com/tilehub/wv_livemap_bc/png/sat/256/ with 'normal.day' to get a normal day map.

PowerBI Map Solution for Showing Heat by Zip Code?

I'm brand spanking new to PowerBI (using V2.1) and need to create a solution that uses a map of Jefferson County KY to show the number of non-English speaking students by zip code. The users want the entire zip code area to "evenly weighted" in heat map fashion similar to this sample map below of all counties in Kentucky. I've looked at what MapBox and ArcGIS offers and I don't see where either of them do anything like this. Plus it looks like MapBox might be a pay solution, which I can't use. Does anybody know of any map solutions that do?

Do you have any tools to put here.com places on here.com map?

Do your javascript SDK have a map view with places on it?
We didn’t find any suitable example how to show places by default (caffe, restaurants, museums, schools, etc) on the here.com maps. Are there any specific tools for this or we need to draw it on our side?
The same question for Android/iOS SDKs.
You can find these POIs details in our geocoding and search section. with respect to JS, you can find the service for our latest version at following place : https://developer.here.com/documentation/maps/3.1.14.0/api_reference/H.service.SearchService.html
For 3.0 version, check the example : https://tcs.ext.here.com/examples/v3/mrs_options , there is a parameter called pois which can be passed and it will show all POIs on the map
For android : https://developer.here.com/documentation/android-sdk/4.2.0.0/dev_guide/topics/search.html
Service reference can be checked from

How to create Perth Metropolitan Area Map in SVG

I am working on a project where Users can interact with a Map via mouse click to see more details of an area. It is Perth Metropolitan Area Map. This Map is generated from PDF using online "PDF to SVG converter".
When I looked at generated SVG code it is so huge can't understand full of it. and did some research to see if i can find any simpler version of the Map, I see there are various options to construct SVG, detailed below.
Shapefiles : Creating maps based on real world data, I thought this is good option to go. but the problem I observed here is we need to depend on GIS tools and open databases where GIS data is available. It is too heavy for our requirement.
Geo JSON / Topo JSON : I see this is simple way to represent Maps in plain, but I could not figure out a way to generate required JSON files. After exploring more on this I understood these technologies are dependent on GIS / Shapefiles.
Inscape : UI editor to draw SVG - It is just generating lot of SVG code again.
After reviewing above all I kind of thinking may be I should learn to write own SVG map.
Can somebody advice whether I am in right direction or Are there any simple approaches to create a Map like this Perth Metropolitan Area Map ?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to show a satellite map on Windows 10 UA app

I'm trying to make my first Windows 10 UA desktop app. I have a working map, but it shows the road type of map. The problem with this is, the detail isn't there, and may people won't be able to get enough info out of this.
Is there a way I can switch the map view from a road to a satellite map?
Edited for response
Sorry I miss understood, didn't realize you where using the MapControl class. Below is a link that explains how to use 3d aerial and street views (towards the bottom)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/mt219695.aspx
the code you are looking for is something like
MapControl1.Style = MapStyle.Aerial3DWithRoads;
Absolutely! You can use the Bing maps API. http://www.microsoft.com/maps/choose-your-bing-maps-API.aspx
Here is a link to a guide on getting started.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff428643.aspx
From the API you can then select the satellite map instead of the road.

Getting coordinates for geojson

I have a geotiff that I have been working with in tilemill and I would like to select portions (buildings) in the map and create new layers as geojson objects. My issue is I don't know how to get the coordinates to create the objects!
http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000345/ch12.html#_choropleth
this is a link to what I'm trying to do with states I just need the step where the coordinates are gotten because it doesn't seem to be in this document, they just give a shout to the guy who defined them. If anyone has done something similar to this, please give me a shout!
Update
I am not looking for the coordinates to the US, I have a fictional map that I am working from.
TileMill is a tool for visualizing data and creating map tiles - it isn't designed for creating or digitizing tasks. You'll want to export your map to Mapbox (or another MBTiles-supporting server), and use a tool like Mapbox's map editor or geojson.io to create GeoJSON overlays on top of it.
